Answer 1

Answer:

1)Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa): Runners

2)Taro(Colocasia esculenta ): Corms

3)Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum): Setts(stem cuttings)

4)Ginger(Zingiber officinale): Rhizome

5)Onion (Allium cepa): Underground bulbs

Answer 2

Five plant species cultivated through vegetative propagation are

(a) Potato: A potato is a stem tuber with nodes, which are also known as eyes, on the surface. This is the location where new ones sprout.

Sprouts are the young plants that emerge from each eye or node of the potato.

As a result, the whole tuber or a portion of the tuber can be used to reproduce this potato vegetatively.

(b) Ginger: Vegetative propagation occurs in ginger through stems such as rhizome, which are horizontally growing subterranean stems bloated with food reserves, and in which the terminal bud develops upward.  

(c) Bryophyllum: Vegetative reproduction happens in this plant when the leaf buds on the edges of the leaf come into touch with soil, where each bud matures into a new plant.

In basic words, vegetative propagation of the following plants: potatoes through stem tubers, ginger through rhizomes, and Bryophyllum through leaf buds.The new shoot, while lateral buds expand and separate to form additional plants.

(d) Rose;  Grafting is the process of combining the features of two closely related plants to create a new plant with the desired qualities of both parents. The stock is the plant from which we get the root system, and the Scion is the plant from which we get the shoot system. We connect the scion to the stock of the second plant in this method of artificial vegetative growth. We utilise grafting for a range of plants, such as roses, in general.

(e) Begonia; is an example of leaf-based vegetative proliferation.

New plants sprout from buds forming on the margins of the leaves in this type of asexual reproduction. These buds are sexually reproduced, and when they fall to the ground, they germinate and grow into a new plant.
