Question

Can a plant only grow from seeds? State three examples to show that vegetative parts(root.stem,
leaf) also grow into new plants​

Answer 1

Answer:

stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems. Some plants can be grown from leaf pieces, called leaf cuttings, which produce both stems and roots. The scions used in grafting are also called cuttings. Propagating plants from cuttings is an ancient form of cloning.

Answer 2

Plant propagation is the process of increasing the number of plants of a particular species or cultivar. Asexual plant propagation or vegetative propagation methods produce new plants from vegetative parts of the original plant, such as the leaves, stems and roots. A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation wherein a piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil.

Advantages of vegetative propagation:

The main advantage of vegetative propagation methods is that the new plants contain the genetic material of only one parent, so they are essentially clones of the parent plant.

It helps to maintain consistent quality and taste in products made from plants or crops.

With vegetative propagation, plants bypass the immature seedling phase and therefore reach the mature phase sooner.

Vegetative propagation saves a lot of time and money for commercial plant production.
