Detailed explanation-1: -Fragmentation. This is a mode of asexual reproduction in which a new plant is produced from a portion of the parent plant. Each section or a part of the plants develop into a mature, fully grown individual. Some plants possess specialized structures for reproduction through fragmentation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ginger and iris produce rhizomes, while ivy uses an adventitious root (a root arising from a plant part other than the main or primary root), and the strawberry plant has a stolon, which is also called a runner.

Detailed explanation-3: -Runners. Runners are side shoots which grow out from the parent plant. Buds form at points along the runner and eventually these buds form roots and grow into new plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual Reproduction Examples Blackworms or mud worms reproduce through fragmentation. Hydras reproduce through budding. Organisms such as copperheads undergo parthenogenesis. Sugarcane can be grown through vegetative propagation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.
