(c) Why do green grass plants spring up in dry fields on their own after the rains?
Answer :
(a) Vegetative propagation is the process of growing new plants from the parts of an old plant without involving any reproductive organ.
(b) This something is any of the plant parts like roots, stems or leaves.
(c) After it rains, the inactive buds in the dried shoots of a grass plant, lying all over the ground, become active and give rise to new plants. This is the reason why green grass plants start growing on dry fields on their own after a spell of a shower.
