Question

Answer 1

Dear Student,

• Onion reproduce through onion bulb or through viable seeds.
• Banana- Bananas reproduce by the method of vegetative propagation. Vegetative propagation is the term used for asexual reproduction in plants which results in the growth of a new plant from its vegetative part. The banana vegetative propagates by side shoot. The shoot from the banana plant are removed and digged inside the soil. These shoots under a suitable environment grow up into a new plant.
• Garlic- Garlic vegetatively propagate ​mostly by bulbs and bulblets.
• Water Hyacinth- Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant which propagates mainly by means of vegetative propagation through bulbs and offsets. It can also propagate by means of seeds.
• Tulip- Bulb or Seeds
• Mint- Mint plant reproduces both vegetatively and through seeds. Vegetatively they reproduce by runners or stolons, which produce new roots and shoots at the nodes, in the presence of favourable conditions.
• Strawberry- Through Runners
• Lily-Seeds
