Plant asexual reproduction involves producing new plants without seeds or fertilization. Methods include:
1. *Cuttings*: Taking stem or leaf cuttings to grow new plants.
2. *Grafting*: Joining a stem (scion) from one plant onto the root system of another (rootstock).
3. *Layering*: Bending a stem to touch the ground, allowing roots to form.
4. *Division*: Separating a mature plant into smaller sections, each growing into a new plant.
5. *Tissue culture*: Growing new plants from plant cells in a controlled environment.
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, preserving desirable traits.
