Asexual reproduction

is simply the plant spreading and establishing new plants through off-shoots. A good example of this is the grass in your lawn. The grass spreads underground, eventually popping up a new green leaf. Over time the connection between the two grass plants

erodes away, leaving two separate plants. Potatoes also do this when they grow those little eye-buds that can turn into new potato plants.



Self-pollination occurs when there is still pollen passed from the stamens. This often occurs where plant life is very sparse and other similar plants are not often available to do the pollination. Most plants have a built-in design to limit self-pollination - the pistil and stamens are different heights, which will help to keep the species stronger. In areas where plant-life is weak, the self-pollinators may be the only survivors.

Self pollination is sexual because it uses both the male and female reproductive parts. Asexual reproduction would not have either parts.
