Hermaphrodite

Real World Example

Imagine trying to decide whether to pack an umbrella or sunscreen for a day that has both rain and shine. This dilemma is similar to how some animals are hermaphrodites, capable of producing both eggs and sperm, effectively preparing for any reproductive situation. Just as you might equip yourself for any weather by carrying both an umbrella and sunscreen, a hermaphrodite is equipped for reproduction by having the ability to produce both eggs and sperm, ensuring they are ready for any reproductive opportunity that comes their way.
