Lower plants reproduce vegetatively through budding, fission, fragmentation, gemmae, resting buds, spores etc. Plants belonging to this category propagate by a part of their body other than the seed. The structural unit that is employed in place of seed is called propagule. Propagule can be the root, stem or leaves, which under controlled and conducive conditions are capable of developing into new plants. This type of reproduction is known as vegetative propagation. One distinctive advantage of vegetative propagation is that all plants produced are genetically similar to the parent plant having all its characteristics. The naturally genetic purity of the strain is ably maintained.
