Detailed explanation-1: -Cane cuttings are taken from cane-like stems which are cut into sections that contain one or two nodes.

Detailed explanation-2: -A stem cutting includes a piece of stem plus any attached leaves or buds. Thus, the stem cutting only needs to form new roots to be a complete, independent plant. A leaf cutting uses just the leaf, so both new roots and new stems must be formed to create a new plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cutting is a section of plant such as a modified stem, leaf, or root used for vegetative propagation that forms either adventitious shoots, adventitious roots (stem and single node cuttings), or both (root and leaf cuttings).

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual Propagation These ways include: Cuttings – Cutting a portion of a leaf, stem, or root off the parent plant then replanting and therefore the plant begins to grow. This is the most common and widely used form of vegetative propagation.
