Detailed explanation-1: -It is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants, in which new plants are produced from the vegetative parts of the plants, i.e. roots, stems or buds. Vegetative propagation in plants can occur both by naturally or also can be artificially induced by horticulturists.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Vegetative parts (figure 1) include roots, stems, shoot buds and leaves. They are not directly involved in sexual reproduction. Vegetative parts often are used in asexual forms of reproduction. Examples include cuttings, budding or grafting.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual or vegetative plant propagation Asexual plant propagation methods produce new plants from vegetative parts of the original plant, such as the leaves, stems and roots. These methods are generally referred to as vegetative propagation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vegetative reproduction is considered asexual reproduction because, in this biological process, the vegetative part of the parent plants (root, stem, leaf etc.) are preserved and propagated to produce a new individual. It does not involve the fusion of gametes . The offspring are produced by a single parent.
