Answer» In vegetative PROPAGATION by roots, root (one of the vegetative parts of the plant) of the plant is taken and planted in the soil. It can be done by TWO methods: By adventitious buds Shoots arise from reproductive roots Roots of some plants develop new plants by producing buds. These buds present on the roots grow as LEAFY shoots above the ground. These leafy shoots are called as slips. Each slip gives rise to a new plant. These buds detach from the root and develop into new plants. Adventitious roots (Roots which arise from an ORGAN other than the root) are present at the bases of these adventitious buds. Root tubers develop adventitious buds in sweet POTATO, dahlia, asparagus, tapioca, etc. The given figure (A) shows adventitious buds growing into new shoots in tuberous roots of sweet potato and (C) shows old root tuber of Dahlia growing into new plant. |
