Answer:

The body of a toad is divisible into head, trunk and limbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Head and trunk are not separated by a flexible neck; this condition is very suitable for aquatic (aqua = water) life. The adult has no tail. ... Each side of the body is said to be lateral and structures on the middle line of the body are medial.

Information:

Like frogs, toads are amphibians. They differ from most frogs because they have dry skin, warts, crests behind the eyes, and parotoid glands.

Tips:

The parotoid glands produce a poisonous secretion that helps the toad defend itself from predators.

I hope this answers help you! :>
