What you are talking about is grafting. This can be done (and is done commercially), between closely related plants (normally at a genus or species level). The success of the graft is determined by the type of plant.

It is commonly done with fruit trees and rose plants, where the best characteristics of the fruit (or flower bearing) plant are added to the rootstock of another (related plant), which has a good, vigorous root system.

Natural grafts sometimes occur in nature, but normally on the same plant - this happens where two branches rub together in the wind, over time they fuse and form a permanent attachment.
