How do plant reprooduce without seeds?

In asexual reproduction new plants are obtained without production of seeds or spores.

Vegetative propagation

It is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from roots, stems, leaves and buds. Since reproduction is through the vegetative parts of the plant, it is known as vegetative propagation.

2. Budding

• Yeast is an organism that contains a single cell. It is a fungi not a plant.

• It can propagate every few hours if the proper amount of nutrients are available to it.

• As the yeast finds favourable conditions, a small bulb-like projection produces from the yeast called Bud.

• The bud grows gradually and then gets detached from the parent yeast.

• This new cell then grows measures and produces more cells.

3. Fragmentation

• Algae like Spirogyra generally reproduce by the process of fragmentation in which they divide themselves into multiple parts.

• As soon as the algae find enough water and nutrients, it fragments and grows into new individuals.

• This process continues and algae multiply quickly in a short period of time.

4. Spore Formation

• Some plants contain spores that float in the air and cause asexual reproduction.

• A spore has a hard protective cover which protects it from the unfavourable environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.

• As a result, the spores can travel long distances and survive for a long duration of time.

• As soon as they find favourable conditions such as moisture and nutrients, they germinate and form new plants.

• For Example, Moss and ferns propagate in this way.
