pieces of hydras have structural memory so, the foot generayes a new head and the head generates a new foot

Can we find out that? How can we see that hydra will grow into new organism when cut in two pieces?

When pieces are cut or torn from hydras, the cytoskeletal pattern survives and becomes part of the new animal. The pattern generates a small but potent amount of mechanical force that shows cells where to line up. This mechanical force can serve as a form of “memory” that stores information about the layout of animal bodies.When pieces of hydra begin the regeneration process, the scraps of hydra fold into little balls, and the cytoskeleton has to find a balance between maintaining its old shape and adapting to the new conditions.However, some portions retain their pattern. As the little hydra tissue ball stretches into a tube and grows a tentacle-ringed mouth, the new body parts follow the template set by the cytoskeleton in fragments from the original hydra.

One way to find an answer to this question is to look at the characteristics of prokaryote, and see if they match Hydra.
That is great question. Let’s explore and do some research.
Someone mentioned that hydra is immortal. Could it be?
You mean two new hydra?
Did you try? Can you design an experiment to confirm this?
