Answer

The property of an object according to which any magnified portion of that object repeats the pattern of the whole object is called self-similarity. When one part of an object can be enlarged (or shrunk) to look like the whole object it is self-similar. Objects like leaves, peacock feathers, salt flats and lightning are self-similar.
