Solution

Grafting:
Grafting is a mode of artificial vegetative propagation in plants.
In this method, the stem of the plant to be propagated (scion) is attached to the root of another plant (stock) in a manner that combines the vascular tissues of both plants.
Plants such as apples, pears, mangoes, etc are propagated through grafting.
Grafting is the most common method of propagating plants in horticultural practices.
