(N/A) No,these two methods are not the same.
In fragmentation,multicellular organisms with simple body organization,upon reaching maturity,break their bodies into small pieces (fragments),which then grow into new individuals,as seen in $Spirogyra$.
In regeneration,organisms possess the specialized ability to regrow lost parts of their body or even an entire body from a small fragment,typically following an injury or accidental damage,as seen in $Hydra$ and $Planaria$.
