Vegetative propagation is a mode of reproduction in plants where parts like the root, stem, and leaves develop into new plants under appropriate conditions.
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals arise from vegetative structures like stems, roots, or leaves, rather than from seeds. This method allows plants to produce genetically identical offspring, maintaining desirable traits. Techniques such as cuttings, runners, tubers, and bulbs are employed in vegetative propagation. In cuttings, a portion of the plant, usually a stem, is removed and planted to generate a new plant. Runners, found in plants like strawberries, produce daughter plants along horizontal stems. Tubers (as in potatoes) and bulbs (as in onions) store nutrients and can give rise to new plants, ensuring genetic continuity.
