Lets say there are 20 prokaryotes and they don't reproduce. They would die one by one until you had no prokaryotes. If they had reproduced, you would have more than 20 prokaryotes. So what I'm trying to say is that prokaryotes reproduce to keep their race alive. If humans didnt reproduce, in a while there would be no humans at all. It's the same with prokaryotes.

Hope this helped.

Plants can only have eukaryotic cells because they themselves are eukaryotic. Only a bacteria (which is a prokaryote) is able to reproduce to form another prokaryotic cell.
