Discuss five examples of vegetative propagation. Class 8

Answer:

Vegetative propagation is asexual reproduction where plant parts like stems, roots, or leaves grow into new plants.

Five examples:

1. Money Plant: A stem cutting with a node grows roots when placed in water or soil, forming a new plant.
2. Potato: The 'eyes' (buds) on a sprouted potato can be planted to grow a new potato plant.
3. Ginger: A piece of ginger rhizome with a bud, when planted in soil, develops into a new plant.
4. Sugarcane: Stem cuttings with nodes are planted to produce new sugarcane plants, as sugarcane rarely produces seeds.
5. Bamboo: Sections of bamboo stems or rhizomes can be planted to grow new bamboo plants, relying on vegetative propagation.
6. Bryophyllum: Tiny plantlets form on the leaf edges and fall off to grow into new plants.
