Question

Why is vegetative propagation practiced for growing some type of organism?

Answer 1

Vegetative propagation:

1. It is a type of asexual reproduction.
2. A portion of the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures known as vegetative propagules are used to create a new plant.

Vegetative propagation is practiced because:

1. It is a quicker and less difficult way.
2. It can aid plant growth in areas where germination has failed.
3. It can be used to propagate plants that don't generate viable seeds or produce a small quantity of seeds.
4. It's a quick way to grow a lot of plants in a short amount of time.
5. Potato tubers and ginger rhizomes are two examples.
