NCERT · Class 10 · Science · How do Organisms Reproduce?What is vegetative propagation? Mention two advantages of this method.

Vegetative propagation is an asexual mode of reproduction in plants where new plants are developed from vegetative parts such as roots, stems, or leaves, rather than seeds. Two major advantages of this method are:

1. It allows plants that have lost the capacity to produce viable seeds (like banana and rose) to reproduce.
2. All newly produced plants are genetically identical to the parent plant.
