What is vegetative propagation? Mention the vegetative propagules in:

i) Bryophyllum ii) Sprirogyra

Vegetative propagation is the process of forming offspring from the pre-existing structures like roots, stems etc. It is generally of two types budding and fragmentation. Budding can be seen in Hydra and fragmentation can be seen in spirogyra.

(i) Bryophyllum: - Budding. In budding new offspring are produced through the buds which are repetitive cell division at one spot.

(ii) Spirogyra: - Fragmentation. In fragmentation, main plant body or parent body gets divided into small fragments which later develops into an individual plant.
