Answer:

Vegetative propagation, is a form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or grows from a specialized reproductive structure (such as a stolon, rhizome, tuber, corm, or bulb).

Many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially( by cutting, grafting, layering, or by tissue culture).

It's main advantage is that If a plant has favorable traits, it can continue to pass down its advantageous traits to its offsprings. It can be economically beneficial for commercial growers to clone a certain plant to ensure consistency throughout their crops.

A major disadvantage of vegetative propagation is that it prevents the productions of new variations which can lead to reductions in crop yields.
