As in, why did certain animals evolve to become very vulnerable for a short amount of time just to change a lot?

Always worth keeping in mind that evolution isn’t always the best solution or even one of the top solutions.

That being said, a common theory (Brink, Roos, and deickmann 2019) of why metamorphosis is of benefit to some species is that the juveniles and adults do not compete for the same resources.
