graftage
Botanical tissue fusion
Graftage is the practice or technique of grafting plants—joining a shoot or bud from one plant onto the rootstock of another so they grow as one.
The term covers grafting as a general horticultural method rather than any single instance: Graftage has been used in viticulture for centuries to combat root diseases.
