By replacing damaged cells
Mitosis is the process by which cells divide and produce new cells with identical genetic material. When a multicellular organism is injured or damaged, mitosis plays a crucial role in repairing and regenerating the damaged tissues by producing new cells to replace the damaged ones. This helps the organism to heal and recover from injuries.
