What is the term to use for a new organism growing from just a part of the parent organism?

It is called budding. It is when a parent organism produces a bud like formation on it's body with it's genetic information. This happens in plants, sea sponges and some other organisms that reproduce asexually. Yes, this is a type of asexual reproduction. Meaning that a single parent organism is producing the offspring. There is no contribution from another organism, just one parent organism replicating it's traits so they can be passed on to their offspring.
Another kind is called splicing. It is when you take a special kind of tape (the actual name of it slipped my mind) and you adhere the clipping of, say an orange plant to a lemon plant. It will grow off part of an organism, now made it's parent organism, but it will produce mixed fruits.
There is also when a starfish loses it's body, and there is just an arm left. It can regenerate a new body, just like a lizard can regenerate it's tail!
These are all types of asexual reproduction.
