vegetative Propaganda
Cutting plants' stems and placing them in compost is also a form of artificial reproduction.
The product of sexual reproduction in plants is a seed. The seed contains genetic information from both parent plants and has the potential to develop into a new plant under suitable conditions.
If you will take a cutting of a house plant or garden plant you like and get it to grow, you will have vegetative reproduction. Both plants are exactly the same and have exactly the same genes. No sexual reproduction was involved. Sexual reproduction produces an individual that is genetically different from all others.If you will take a cutting of a house plant or garden plant you like and get it to grow, you will have vegetative reproduction.

Haploid cells in plants called "haploid cells" or "gametophytes" have the ability to develop into a whole plant without fertilization. This process is known as "apomixis" and allows for asexual reproduction in certain plant species.
Seeds are used for plant propagation and reproduction. They contain the embryo of a plant surrounded by a protective coat. Spores, on the other hand, are used by certain plants, fungi, and algae for reproduction and dispersal. They are small, single-celled structures that can develop into new organisms under favorable conditions.
Yes, a gamete can develop into a complete plant without fertilization in a process known as apomixis. This asexual reproduction allows certain plants to produce seeds that are genetically identical to the parent plant without the need for fertilization. Some species, particularly in the flowering plants, have adapted this mechanism to ensure reproduction in stable environments. However, this is not common to all plants and typically occurs in specific taxa.
Plants that have a stem with a tip (aka shot, sucker, twig) or a node, can be taken from the parent plant and rooted. This is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning. The requirement is a stem. With plants such as daffodils, tulips and such, the preferred asexual proprogation is bulb splitting.Plants that have a stem with a tip (aka shot, sucker, twig) or a node, can be taken from the parent plant and rooted.

Asexual fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into two or more fragments, each of which can develop into a new individual. This process is common in some animals, such as starfish and sponges, as well as in certain plants.
Fruits develop from the ovaries of flowers on certain plants. After fertilization, the ovary swells and ripens into a fruit, which typically encases seeds for dispersal. Fruits serve as a means of protecting and aiding in the dispersal of seeds for plant reproduction.
Plants are adapted to their environment for growth, reproduction and sustaining life there after. For this there are certain modifications in the structure and function. For example xerophytic plants develop better vasculature and water conservation characterstics.
Living on land required that plants develop adaptations to obtain water and nutrients from the soil, develop structures for support against gravity, and evolve methods for reproduction without the need for water.
The scientific name for virgin birth is "parthenogenesis." It refers to a type of asexual reproduction in which offspring develop from unfertilized eggs. This phenomenon is observed in certain species of plants, insects, fish, and reptiles.
