The correct answer is Bryophyllum. Explanation & Key Takeaways: • There are several ways by which plants produce their offspring. These are categorized into two types: (i) asexual, and (ii) sexual reproduction. • In asexual reproduction, plants can give rise to new plants without seeds, whereas in sexual reproduction, new plants are obtained from seeds. • Asexual reproduction • In asexual reproduction new plants are obtained without the production of seeds. • Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from roots, stems, leaves, and buds. • Since reproduction is through the vegetative parts of the plant, it is known as vegetative propagation. Important Notes: Bryophyllum: • Bryophyllum (sprout leaf plant) has buds in the margins of leaves. • If a leaf of this plant falls on moist soil, each bud can give rise to a new plant. • The roots of some plants can also give rise to new plants. Sweet potato and dahlia are examples. • Plants such as cacti produce new plants when their parts get detached from the main plant body. • Each detached part can grow into a new plant. • Plants produced by vegetative propagation take less time to grow and bear flowers and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds. • The new plants are exact copies of the parent plant, as they are produced from a single parent.
