cuttage
Clipping-based plant reproduction
Cuttage is plant propagation by rooting severed pieces of stems, leaves, or roots.
The method produces clones of the parent plant and is standard practice in horticulture: Roses are commonly grown by cuttage rather than from seed.
The word parallels other horticultural terms like graftage and layerage.
