Correct Answer:

The correct answer is Option (2) -Asexual reproduction in plants.

Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants grow from vegetative parts of the parent plant, such as roots, stems, and leaves, rather than from seeds. This method allows plants to reproduce and spread without the need for fertilization and seed formation. So, in plants, the term vegetative reproduction is a mode of asexual reproduction . In plants, the units of vegetative propagation such as runner, rhizome, sucker, tuber, offset, bulb are all capable of giving rise to new offspring.
