Question

Reproduction in rose plant is through

• A. Stem
• B. Flowers
• C. Roots
• D. Seeds

Answer 1

The correct option is A Stem

• A small part of a plant which is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife is called a 'cutting'.
• Cuttings are a means of asexual reproduction in plants. The new plant formed from a cutting is exactly similar to the parent plant. The plants like rose can be grown by means of cuttings.
• For example, rose plant and Chrysanthemum are propagated (or reproduced) by means cuttings from stems.
• A piece of stem (or side shoot) having bud is cut from an existing rose plant with the help of a knife. The lower part of this gutting is buried in moist soil. After a few days, the end of cutting buried in soil develops roots and later on grows to become a new rose plant. An advantage of cuttings method is that by using this method we can produce many new plants from just one plant quickly, without waiting for flowers and sexual reproduction.

So, the correct answer is 'Stem'
