(N/A) Yes,vegetative propagation is considered a type of asexual reproduction for the following reasons:
$(i)$ It is uniparental,meaning only one parent is involved in the process.
$(ii)$ The offspring produced are genetically and morphologically identical to the parent,forming a clone.
$(iii)$ There is no formation or fusion of gametes (fertilization),which is a characteristic feature of sexual reproduction.
