Question
Discuss five examples of vegetative propagation.
Answer

Vegetative propagation is asexual reproduction where plant parts like stems, roots, or leaves grow into new plants. Five examples: Money Plant: A stem cutting with a node grows roots when placed in water or soil, forming a new plant. Potato: The “eyes” (buds) on a sprouted potato can be planted to grow a new potato plant. Ginger: A piece of ginger rhizome with a bud, when planted in soil, develops into a new plant. Sugarcane: Stem cuttings with nodes are planted to produce new sugarcane plants, as sugarcane rarely produces seeds. Bamboo: Sections of bamboo stems or rhizomes can be planted to grow new bamboo plants, relying on vegetative propagation.
