Question
Explain asexual reproduction in plants.
✓
Answer
- Vegetative propagation is the method of asexual reproduction in plants.
- It takes place with the help of vegetative parts like root, stem, leaf and bud.
- Potato, suran (Amorphophallus) and other tubes propagate with the help of ‘eyes’ which are buds. These eyes are present on the stem tubers.
- In case of plants like sugarcane and grasses, buds present on nodes perform vegetative propagation.
- Plants like Bryophyllum performs vegetative propagation with the help of buds present on leaf margin.
