Question

describe the method by which strawberries are artificially propagated.

Answer 1

Growing strawberry plants from a runner is, for most, the easiest and quickest way to propagate strawberries.  Most of the June-bearing, everbearing, and day-neutral varieties produce runners.  Some of the wild strawberry varieties do not and must be propagated by seed.  But, in general, if someone buys a strawberry plant, it will produce at least a few runners.
