Notes

Vegetative Reproduction:

While in animals and other simple organisms the term asexual is used unambiguously, in plants, the term vegetative reproduction is frequently used.
Vegetative reproduction (also known as vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication, or cloning) is a type of asexual reproduction found in plants where new individuals are formed without the production of seeds or spores and thus without syngamy or meiosis.
Generally, methods of vegetative propagation have been further divided into two types - natural and artificial vegetative reproduction.
