Reproducers are those things that enable the continuation of life by propagating offspring. While the most common synonyms for the term are "breeders" or "procreators", there are many other words that can be used to describe the various forms of reproduction in the biological world. For example, "spawners" are organisms that lay eggs en masse, while "livebearers" give birth to live young. "Cloners" reproduce asexually by creating genetically identical copies of themselves, while "pollinators" assist in the sexual reproduction of flowering plants. From mitosis and meiosis to budding and fragmentation, the diversity of reproductive strategies in nature is truly remarkable.
