Answer 1

other 2 types are grafting and cutting

layering-A low-growing stem is bent down to touch a hole dug in the ground after some years they gradually cut off from the parent plant.

grafting-The upper part of the graft (the scion) becomes the top of the plant, the lower portion (the understock) becomes the root system or part of the trunk.

cutting- plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil.
