plant reproduction
How flora multiply
Plant reproduction is the process by which plants create new individuals of their species.
Sexual reproduction involves flowers, pollination, and seeds—pollen fertilizes ovules, producing seeds that grow into new plants.
Asexual reproduction bypasses seeds entirely: plants propagate through runners, bulbs, cuttings, or root division, creating genetic clones of the parent.
The gardener studied plant reproduction to improve her breeding program.
