List the methods of vegetative propagation in higher plants.

Despite the fact that higher plants have the ability to reproduce sexually, nature has taken care of a kind of “safety cushion” – vegetative reproduction. There are many options for such reproduction:

1) Root.

– Root offspring. This is how raspberries, mountain ash, and apple trees multiply.

– Dandelion propagates by root cuttings.

– Dahlias and sweet potatoes are propagated by root tubers.

2) Vegetative shoot.

– The stem. There are many options, such as:

Stem cuttings (poplar, willow, currant);
Layers (currants, gooseberries);
“Mustache” (strawberry);
Inoculation (apple, pear, cherry, plum).
– Begonia and others are propagated by the leaf.
