Reproduction in plants can be divided into two types:
1. Asexual Reproduction
2. Sexual Reproduction
The roof, leaf and stem are called vegetative parts. The growth of new plants from vegetative parts is known as vegetative propagation.
Plants can also grow from spores, layering and some other techniques. Let us learn about them all in detail.
Methods of Vegetative Propagation & Examples
Radishes
Bryophyllum
Underground stems are modified structures of certain plants. They are of three types:
Underground Stem
Spores
Layering
Runners
Suckers
A Cone
Rose from Stem
Cutting
In this method, the stems of the plants are cut into many small pieces. Each piece can develop into a new plant.

Plants with flowers are known as flowering plants. When flowers mature, they become fruits which hold seeds. Therefore, flowers are the reproductive parts of flowering plants.
Parts of a Flower
A flower has four main parts, arranged in circles at the base.
1. Calyx
2. Corolla
3. Androecium
4. Gynoecium
These parts work together to help the flower reproduce.
