All living organisms have a characteristic that they can produce their own kind.
This production of the offspring from the parents is called Reproduction.
Modes of Reproduction in Plants
Plants have two kinds of parts:
Vegetative Parts - These are the parts of the plant that plays a major role in the life cycle of a plant such as preparation of food, transportation of food, water and nutrients etc. For Example, roots, stems and leaves.
Reproductive Parts - These are the parts of a plant that play a major role in the reproduction process in plants, For Example, flowers, fruits
Reproduction in plants can be categorized into two types:
Asexual Reproduction – The new plants are produced without using the seeds. In this process, generally, the leaves, stems and roots participate in reproduction.
Sexual Reproduction – The new plants are produced with the help of the seeds of a plant. In this process, the flowers of the plants participate in reproduction.
