Detailed explanation-1: -Vegetative propagation is an asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs in its leaves, roots and stem. This can occur through fragmentation and regeneration of specific vegetative parts of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of propagation: sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction is the union of the pollen and egg, drawing from the genes of two parents to create a new, third individual. Sexual propagation involves the floral parts of a plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vegetative propagation is known to be the formation and growth of a new plant by an asexual means or by a fragment of a plant. The propagation takes place without gamete formation and fertilization. Examples of vegetative propagation are the rhizome of ginger, the tuber of the potato, guava tree, etc.
