So tardigrades grow and reproduce

Cloning is done through a process called somatic cell nuclear transplantation SCNT.  Through the process of asexual reproduction, organisms such as bacteria and in some plants which creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Modern genetic technology can also be used to create clones. There are many types of cloning: gene cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic
