Maggots are insect larvae, usually hatched from the eggs of houseflies (or other flies) that have been laid in edible material (e.g. carrion or rotting meat).
Because they seem to come from "nowhere", originally many people thought they appeared spontaneously from rotting meat. Especially since maggots can hatch out in closed containers, the invisibly-small eggs having been laid before the contents were put in the container.

Maggots are the larval stage of flies. Female flies lay eggs which hatch into maggots, and eventually change into flies to reproduce and complete their life cycle. Flies lay their eggs on dead animals, fecal material, and other sources of food for the maggots.
Carrion attracts maggot, flies lay their eggs in the meat then It may takes 8-20 hours for maggots to hatch and grow.
rotten food and horrible smells.
Mold attracts flies and they do breed in mold. Flies will lay eggs in he mold so that the maggots have a food source when the hatch.
Are maggots unicellular?
Rotting meat doesn't create flies. Rotting meat attracts flies that lay their eggs on the meat. These eggs hatch and maggots emerge and proceed to feed off the rotten meat. After a period as a chrysalis, the maggots change and emerge as adult flies.
Some maggots such as housefly maggots prefer decomposing meat or flesh. Although some maggots live in decomposing logs or trees. These are just a few places where maggots live.
No , maggots are from flies
Err no. Maggots are the beginning stage of flies. Flies lay the eggs, which then hatch into larve that later become Maggots.
rotting flesh and other maggots
We are born with parasites, not maggots.
Maggots do not harm humans, seeing maggots feasting off of a dead corpse, animal or simply rotting flesh is only the nature of the maggots. They eat Dead flesh and they have not caused the fate of the corpse. Although, there is a possible way that certain species of flies can lay a larvae of Maggots into a living person. I.e mosquito larvae. Therefore it can be infected and become fatal to the host. Although, it is the Infection itself that is harmful, not the maggots. And is quite easy to remove the maggots from the host in itself and many doctors have seen action of this.
