Why is $Amoeba$ called immortal?
(N/A) $Amoeba$ is considered immortal because it does not undergo natural death.
During favourable conditions, the parent $Amoeba$ undergoes binary fission, where it divides into two daughter cells.
Since the entire parent body is transformed into the offspring, there is no remnant of the parent left to die, thus making it biologically immortal.
