Show answer Hide answer
Answer
New plants can grow from potato, ginger, money plant, onion and leaf parts.

Explanation

Plant Part that grows
Potato Eyes (buds) on the tuber
Ginger A piece of the underground stem
Money plant A stem cutting
Onion The bulb
Bryophyllum Buds on the leaf margin
  • Each grows a new plant from a part of the parent.
  • No seeds are needed, so it is asexual reproduction.
Potato, ginger, money plant, onion and bryophyllum all propagate vegetatively.
← Back to concept: 13.5.1 Asexual reproduction
