What is another word for vegetative reproduction?
Pronunciation: [vˈɛd͡ʒɪtˌe͡ɪtɪv ɹɪpɹədˈʌkʃən] (IPA) 
Vegetative reproduction, also known as asexual reproduction, refers to the process by which plants reproduce without the involvement of seeds or spores. This method allows plants to multiply rapidly, enabling them to colonize new areas or propagate valuable traits. Various terms can be used as synonyms for vegetative reproduction, such as clonal propagation or cloning. Clonal propagation specifically emphasizes the identical genetic makeup of the offspring to the parent plant. Other synonyms include agamogenesis, apomixis, and asexual propagation. These terms highlight the absence of gametes or sexual processes involved in the reproduction, emphasizing the reliance on vegetative structures, such as stems, roots, or buds, to generate new individuals and sustain plant populations.
