Detailed explanation-1: -1: Budding: Hydra reproduce asexually through budding, where a bud forms that develops into an adult and breaks away from the main body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The exact type of asexual reproduction that can occur in spider plants is called a runner. The plant will send out runners (which dangle down). If planted they will become another plant.
