How does Nelumbo nucifera reproduce?

Answer 1

Nelumbo nucifera, the sacred lotus, reproduces primarily through seeds. In cultivation, humans can propagate lotus by carefully dividing their rhizomes.

Answer 2

Nelumbo nucifera, also known as the sacred lotus, reproduces primarily through sexual reproduction. The flowers of the sacred lotus contain both male (pollen-producing) and female (ovule-producing) parts, allowing for self-pollination. Pollination is often carried out by insects or the wind, leading to the formation of seeds within the plant's distinctive fruiting structures.
