Q. 11  Justify the statement ‘vegetative reproduction is also a type of asexual reproduction’.


|n flowering plants, the units of vegetative reproduction such as runners, stolons, suckers, offsets, rhizome, corm, tuber, etc., are capable of giving rise to new offsprings. These structures are called vegetative propagules. In all these plants the formation of these structures does not involve two parents, the processinvolved is asexual. So, it can be said that vegetative reproduction is also a type of asexual reproduction.
