EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Most plants continue to grow throughout their lives. Like other multicellular organisms, plants grow through a combination of cell growth and cell division. Cell growth increases cell size, while cell division (mitosis) increases the number of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plant bud is a small, embryonic protuberance(lateral or axile) on the stem of a plant that arises from meristematic tissue and develops into a flower, leaf, or shoots. In many plants, buds can arise at unexpected places, and such buds are known as adventitious buds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Most plants continue to grow as long as they live. They grow through a combination of cell growth and cell division (mitosis). The key to plant growth is meristem, a type of plant tissue consisting of undifferentiated cells that can continue to divide and differentiate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bryophyllum is propagated by means of leaf buds. The buds produced on the notches along the leaf margin of Bryophyllum detach and develop into new independent plants. Sweet potato and carrot are examples of vegetative propagation by roots. Banana plants develop buds as projections out of the stem.
