Hello!!
_________________________________
⭕ What is vegetative propagation? Give two suitable examples.
➡️ Vegetative propagation is a mode of asexual reproduction in which new plants are obtained from the vegetative parts of plants.
➡️ It does not involve the production of seeds or spores for the propagation of new plants.
➡️ Vegetative parts of plants such as runners, rhizomes, suck.ers, tubers, etc. can be used as propagules for raising new plants.
Examples of vegetative reproduction are:
1️⃣. Eyes of potato:
➡️ The surface of a potato has several buds called eyes.
➡️ Each of these buds when buried in soil develops into a new plant, which is identical to the parent plant.
2️⃣. Leaf buds of Bryophyllum:
➡️ The leaves of Bryophyllum plants bear several adventitious buds on their margins.
➡️ These leaf buds have the ability to grow and develop into tiny plants when the leaves get detached from the plant and come in contact with moist soil.
