Answer:

Bryophyllum. Although many plants sometimes can sprout a new plant from a well-planted leaf, bryophyllum, or Kalanchoe, can do so while the leaves still are attached to the branch. The leaves of this plant begin the process of mitosis and asexually reproduce in the form of plantlets that cover the edges of each leaf

Leaves play an important role in the life of the plant, providing the means to collect and store sunlight for photosynthesis. Still, leaves inevitably fall and are scattered by the wind. Some plants have adapted to use this to their advantage and store everything necessary to reproduce in their leaves.

Bryophyllum

Although many plants sometimes can sprout a new plant from a well-planted leaf, bryophyllum, or Kalanchoe, can do so while the leaves still are attached to the branch. The leaves of this plant begin the process of mitosis and asexually reproduce in the form of plantlets that cover the edges of each leaf. Once these plantlets develop, they drop off and grow into new plants when they find fertile ground.
