Regeneration is not the same as reproduction.

1. Regeneration is the reconstruction of entire body from the isolated body cells.
2. Eg. When planaria is cut into many pieces, each piece develops into a whole planaria. 
3. This process occurs only if the planarial body gets cut into pieces.
4. But animals cannot wait to be cut to reproduce.
5. Therefore, regeneration is not the same as reproduction.
