These plants do not require seeds as they produce new plants by vegetative propagation. These plants have vegetative propagules which are modified leaves/ stems/ roots/ shoots which have nodes from which new plants arise.Two other examples where new plants are produced by vegetative propagation are:

• Roots of plants like guava can form adventitious buds which can grow into new plants by placing them in the soil.
• Leaves of plants like Bryophyllum can form adventitious buds which can develop into new plants while being attached to the leaf.
