No. While the new plants will look similar to the parent plants, seeds are the result of assexual reproduction and assexual reproduction means that the offspring are all unique. In other words there will be variation in exactly the same way as children do not look exactly the same as their parents.

If you're talking about 1 parent, that would mean the plant was self-pollinated, meaning it would be most likely identical to the parent plant. Now, if you're talking about 2 parent plants, the offspring could be different due to the random selection of genes from both parent's gene pool and alleles. Some of the reccessive traits not shown in the adult plants could appear in the offspring.

What is an advantage that sexual reproduction from plants have over reproduction from plant parts?

Reproduction from plant parts is basically cloning, which means that the new individual will be genetically identical with its parent. If circumstances (weather)would change beyond what th parent plant can cope with, the plant would die out. Sexual reproduction means each new plant is a (different) mix of the characteristics of both parents, making it possible for the species to adapt to changes in the environment.
