Get permanent slides of Hydra. Observe them using hand lens or a microscope. Look out for any bulges from the parent body. Count the number of bulges that you see in different slides. Also, note the size of the bulges. Draw the diagram of Hydra, as you see it. Compare it with Fig.

We observe that Hydra use regenerative cells for developing new individuals in the process of budding. Also buds develop in Hydra as outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site. Those buds develop into small size individuals and when they are fully matured, they are separated from their parent’s body and become new young ones. This entire process is called budding which is an asexual mode of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved.
