Solution

The artificial methods that are used to carry out reproduction in plants without any utilisation of reproductive organs is called artificial propagation. Some examples of artificial propagation are as follows:

1. Grafting: The process of grafting involves tying a bud or twig of a plant (scion) over the stem that has been cut from another plant (stock).

2. Layering: In this process, a relatively younger branch is bent and layered with moist soil. This layered branch later develops its own root system and grows into a new plant.
