self-seeds

Plants itself automatically

Self-seeds describes a plant that propagates itself by dropping seeds that germinate without human intervention.

Gardeners value self-seeding plants for filling spaces naturally: The poppies self-seed every year.

The term can apply to any organism or process that perpetuates itself without outside help.
