Direct development involves the offspring developing into a miniature version of the adult without any larval stage, showing no drastic morphological changes, such as in reptiles and humans; indirect development includes a larval stage that is morphologically distinct from the adult form and undergoes metamorphosis to become an adult, as seen in insects and amphibians.
