Answer 1

Vegetative propagation:

The asexual reproduction mode in which the vegetative parts of the plant, such as stem, root, or leaves, produce a new plant is called vegetative propagation.

The significance of vegetative propagation:

1. The plants produced from vegetative propagation grows quicker than the plant grown from seeds and are relatively cheaper.
2. The process helps to improve the quality of plants.
3. The desired characteristics such as color, size, and aroma of flowers and fruits can be produced by vegetative propagation.
4. The fruit-bearing plants produce fruit faster than plants grown from seeds.
