It is in the description. I quote: "At the dawn of time, Tiamat, the Queen of Evil Dragons, slew a rival dragon god named Lernaea and cast her blood across the multiverse. Each drop that fell upon a world spawned a multi-headed hydra consumed by a hunger as great as the fallen god’s hatred."
If you have access to the hydra here on D&D Beyond, you can read the description and find out. Short answer is yes, tangentially. They’re the descendants of a god that Tiamat killed.

l looked it up,but the page says nothing about its lore
It's right there under "Description" in the link you just linked :)
?? this is all it says:
Description
The hydra is a reptilian horror with a crocodilian body and multiple heads on long, serpentine necks. Although its heads can be severed, the hydra magically regrows them in short order.
thats it. nothing to do with a murdered god. (i dont have the books,so maybe thats the issue?)

I had always wondered this myself, so it's nice to get the official line on it.

tiamat is the multi headed dragon goddess,and hydras are multi headed dragon like monsters,so is there any relation?

Their multiheadedness may or may not have anything to do with that, it doesn't say.
