Question

Give an example of vegetative reproduction which is carried out by leaves.

Answer 1

Answer:

In Bryophllum vegetative reproduction is carried out by leaves.

Answer 2

Vegetative reproduction occurs in leaves when roots come out of it as the leaf is embedded in the soil.  

Explanation:  

• This is a form of the asexual mode of reproduction where complex multi-celled structures detach from the plant body and create a genetically similar plant.  
• At times this vegetative reproduction can occur through leaves as well. This can be witnessed in Bryophyllum where the leave when embedded in the soil gives rise to roots and create a new plant in itself.  
• Rhizomes, runners, tubers, bulbs are also units that help in vegetative reproduction in plants.
