The phenomenon of occurrence of multiple chromosomes in plants is known as polyploidy.
The very basic cause of multiple chromosome formation is related with inhibition of spindle formation during mitosis. Other cause are due to hybridization etc.
Diploid cells have a double set of chromosomes because they inherit one set from the father's sperm and one set from the mother's ovum. By having two of every chromosome, except for XY in males, recessive genetic disorders can be masked or at least moderated by a dominant gene.

because they produce sexually instead of asexually
because some plant cells are polyploid
sex
More than two sets of chromosomes
Two sets for twelve chromosomes.
it has two sets of chromosomes
the prefix di- means 2. so a diploid is two sets of chromosomes.
Homologous Chromosomes.
diploid cells have double set of chromosomes. It varies across species. For example, diploid human cell has 46 chromosomes, while a cell of carp fish has about 100 chromosomes, very roughly.
Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.

Haploid refers to having only one set of chromosomes, while diploid refers to having two sets of chromosomes. Body cells are diploid, while sex cells are haploid. In humans, diploid cells have two sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46, and haploid cells have one set of 23 chromosomes.
Homologous Chromosomes.
Most higher organisms are diploid, which means that they have two sets of chromosomes. Plant breeding often leads to polyploidy, or the presence of extra sets of chromosomes. For example, roses are supposed to have 14 chromosomes (two sets of 7). Some rose hybrids have 21, 28, 35 or 42 chromosomes. Plants are able to expand their genome to allow for greater variety. The same isn't true for humans. Even one extra chromosome in humans can lead to birth defects, mental deficiency and even fetal demise.
Having two sets of chromosomes is the diploid condition.
