Question
Describe the various methods of vegetative reproduction.
✓
Answer
Various methods of vegetative propagation are:-
(a) Vegetative propagation by roots: New plants arise from the swollen roots buried in the soil.
Example: Sweet potato and dahlia
(b) Vegetative propagation by Underground Stems: A number of plants multiply by stems or their modification.
Example: Ginger and sugarcane
(c) Vegetative propagation by Aerial Stems: Axillary buds which are present on the nodes of stem grow into new plants.
Example: Strawberry
(d) Vegetative propagation by Leaves: Some plants can be propagated by leaves, plantlets develop from the margins of intact leaves. These plantlets, on being detached, develop into independent plants.
Example: Bryophyllum and Begonia
