These are the various types of vegetative propogation. Gemmules are internal buds found in sponges and are involved in asexual reproduction. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. This form of vegetative reproduction occurs in yeast. Potatoes grow from the eyes which are present in the potato tuber. Water hyacinth or Eichhornia propagates vegetatively by offset.
