Jellyfish Life Cycle

Did you know that sea creatures have lifecycles. Well they sure do.  When we did research, we found a jellyfish food web. The Jellyfish food web starts with the egg then the seed called a planula. It shows that the seed is starting to grow. After the planula is formed, an object starts to grow called a ployp.  A ployp looks like a small macaroni noodle.  After a few days, it opens up and forms a new object that is still called a polyp. After the polyp forms it grows into a baby sized jelly fish and grows just like we do. That's a little bit about how jellyfish grow from a egg to an amazing swimming sea creature.
