Answer:
There are several methods of asexual reproduction such as fragmentation, budding, spore formation and vegetative propagation. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes. In vegetative propagation new plants are produced from different vegetative parts such as leaves, stems and roots.
It is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from roots, stems, leaves and buds. Since reproduction is through the vegetative parts of the plant, it is known as vegetative propagation. Cut a branch of rose or champa with a node. This piece of branch is termed a cutting.
Answer:
A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil. If the conditions are suitable, the plant piece will begin to grow as a new plant independent of the parent, a process known as striking. A stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems.
Plants which reproduce by underground stems are potato, ginger, onion and others.
