Vegetative propagation is a mode of reproduction in plants where parts like the root, stem, and leaves develop into new plants under appropriate conditions.

The buds in Hydra, after developing into tiny individuals through repeated cell division, detach from the parent body when fully mature. Once detached, these buds become new independent individuals, completing the reproductive cycle through budding.

Buds in Hydra develop as outgrowths due to repeated cell division at a specific site. This development is triggered by the regenerative cells.

Organisms like Hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction through a process known as budding.

Regeneration differs from reproduction as it is not the normal mode of reproduction for most organisms; it is a response to injury or damage, allowing the organism to regrow from its body parts. Normal reproduction typically involves other mechanisms not ...
