Answer 2

A student kept leaves of bryophyllum in the soil and after a few days new

plants were grown from them due to the process of vegetative propagation.

• Vegetative propagation can be defined as the process of reproduction in plants occurring with the help of vegetative parts like stems, roots, leaves or buds.

• It is an asexual form of reproduction in which only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of that one parent.

• Bryophyllum reproduces offsprings with the help of leaves.

• Their leaves have notches in the margins and these notches give rise to buds.

• When the leaves came in contact with soil, the notches gave rise to buds, and thus after a few days, new plants were grown from them.
