Explanation:
There are several ways by which plants produce their offspring. These are categorised into two types:
A. Asexual
B. Sexual reproduction.
In asexual reproduction plants can give rise to new plants without seeds, whereas in sexual reproduction new plants are obtained from seeds. Vegetative propagation It is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from roots, stems, leaves and buds. Plants produced by vegetative propagation take less time to grow and bear flowers and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds. The new plants are exact copies of the parent plant, as they are produced from a single parent.
