Vegetative Reproduction

Real World Example

Imagine you have a favorite sweater, and over time, it develops a hole. Just like mending that sweater by unraveling yarn from another part to create something new, vegetative reproduction involves using a part of the plant, like a stem or leaf, to grow a new plant. The connection here is that in both cases, you’re taking an existing part (sweater yarn or a plant part) and using it to recreate or extend something you already have (a sweater or a plant), without starting from scratch.
