Yeah, what is a frog called when it still has gills?
No Stupid answers please.
As long as it has gills and tail, the term tadpole will be applied. Only after metamorphosis, when the tail is resorbed and the gills are replaced by lungs do we call frog.
If the frog has become adult and developed gonads, retaining the gills, then it will be called a neotenous frog.
A fish.
We NEVER give stupid answers. That would be like, asking us NOT to give you stupid answers.

"Tadpole" or "Pollywog" are common terms, although Frog Larva is the more scientific term.
References :
After hatching from the egg, the tadpole, sometimes called a polliwog, is gill-breathing and legless and propels itself by means of a tail. During the period of metamorphosis it develops the lungs, legs, and other organs of the adult and, in the frog and the toad, loses the tail.
Now you know!
