Detailed explanation-1: -1: Grafting: Grafting is an artificial method of asexual reproduction used to produce plants combining favorable stem characteristics with favorable root characteristics. The stem of the plant to be grafted is known as the scion, and the root is called the stock.

Detailed explanation-2: -Grafting is an ancient, vegetative, asexual plant propagation technique. It is accomplished most commonly by connecting two plant segments, the shoot piece known as ‘scion’ and the root piece called ‘rootstock’(stock).

Detailed explanation-3: -Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins plant parts from different plants together so they will heal and grow as one plant. This technique is used to propagate plants that do not root well from cuttings, to utilize superior root systems, or to maintain clonal production.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is the most common and widely used form of vegetative propagation. Grafting – Grafting is propagation by combining a scion of one plant and connecting it to the stock of another. This form of propagation is primarily used with woody plants. There are many forms of grafts that can be done for many purposes.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
