Solution

Vegetative propagation is the method which uses the vegetative parts of the plants for the cultivation of plants. The advantages of this method are that the genetically identical offsprings are produced. Therefore, the advantageous traits can be preserved. Only one parent is required which eliminates the need for special mechanisms such as the production of special whorls in the flower, pollination, etc.
