Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Amphibia comes from amphi - "both" and  bios - "life".

    In other words, the name means double life, or two lives referring to the fact the amphibians spend the first part of their lives living in water (e.g. Tadpoles) and the rest of their lives living on land (e.g. Frogs, toads, etc.)
