Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual propagation It is also called ‘vegetative propagation’. The vegetative parts of a plant like leaf, stem, root or their modified forms are used for propagation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Known as “propagation, ‘’ starting plants from cuttings is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to expand your garden, but there are other benefits, too.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is Plant Propagation?
