parthenogenesis - the process by which some plants and insects develop from a female cell without needing to be fertilized by a male cell
Hermaphroditic animals have both male and female reproductive systems. Hermaphroditism provides a means for animals to reproduce sexually without finding mates.
For example, individuals in many species of tapeworms fertilize their own eggs.
In other species such as earthworms, each individual serves as a male and female during mating, both donating and receiving sperm.
Mutual donating and receiving sperm does not occur in parthenogenetic.
