Detailed explanation-1: -vegetative reproduction, any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or grows from a specialized reproductive structure (such as a stolon, rhizome, tuber, corm, or bulb).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where only one parent is involved. The offspring produced is identical to the parent morphologically and genetically. Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction, wherein a new plant is produced from the vegetative parts of a plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most common types of artificial vegetative reproductive techniques include cutting, layering, grafting, suckering, and tissue culturing. These methods are employed by many farmers and horticulturists to produce healthier crops with more desirable qualities.

Detailed explanation-5: -Horticulturalists and gardeners also use vegetative propagation methods that plants don’t use naturally. These methods involve taking a piece of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. Common methods include cuttings, grafting and budding, and tissue culture.
