Answer
Hello,
thank you for your question.
Not all amphibians can grow limbs back, frogs for example cannot do this. But newts are able to do so, although the regrown limb may be smaller or not as perfect as the one they lost.
Here's a good explanation how they do it:

I hope I was of some help to you
