What is vegetative reproduction?
Vegetative reproduction or vegetative propagation is an asexual method of reproduction in which plants can grow and reproduce from stems, roots and leaves.

Examples of Vegetatively propagated plants:
Through Stem - Mint, Rose and Sugarcane
Through Roots - Sweet Potato, Yam and Dahlia
Through Leaves - Begonia and Bryophyllum
Advantages of Vegetative Propagation are:
