Keep the plants watered and observe their growth for several months. These roots continue to grow. Asexual reproduction is a method of reproducing a new organism from one parent. In multicelled organisms such as plants, broken pieces from the plants can develop into new plants. Special roots, called adventitious roots, develop directly from stems or leaves instead of from the normal root system.
Fragmentation is an example of vegetative asexual reproduction.
In this process, a new plant grows from a part broken from a parent plant. The cutting taken from the geranium plant grows into a plant identical to the parent plant. Asexual reproduction has several advantages. First, this method can be used to grow identical plants faster and more successfully than a method that relies on seed germination. Second, seedless fruit can be produced and propagated via vegetative reproduction.
