(N/A) Vegetative propagation is a mode of asexual reproduction in which new plants are obtained from the vegetative parts of plants. It does not involve the production of seeds or spores for the propagation of new plants. Vegetative parts of plants such as runners,rhizomes,suckers,tubers,etc.,can be used as propagules for raising new plants.
Examples of vegetative reproduction are:
$1.$ Eyes of potato: The surface of a potato has several buds called eyes. Each of these buds,when buried in soil,develops into a new plant,which is identical to the parent plant.
$2.$ Leaf buds of Bryophyllum: The leaves of Bryophyllum plants bear several adventitious buds on their margins. These leaf buds have the ability to grow and develop into tiny plants when the leaves get detached from the plant and come in contact with moist soil.
