    A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil. If the conditions are suitable, the plant piece will begin to grow as a new plant independent of the parent, a process known as striking.

  3. Plant propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_propagation

    In some plants, seeds can be produced without fertilization and the seeds contain only the genetic material of the parent plant. Therefore, propagation via asexual seeds or apomixis is asexual reproduction but not vegetative propagation. [6] Softwood stem cuttings rooting in a controlled environment.

  4. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

    The first root in seed producing plants is the radicle, which expands from the plant embryo after seed germination. When dissected, the arrangement of the cells in a root is root hair , epidermis , epiblem , cortex , endodermis , pericycle and, lastly, the vascular tissue in the centre of a root to transport the water absorbed by the root to ...
