Vegetative Propagation
Across
- 4. This plant grows small plants, called plantlets, on the edge of its leaves and detaches from the parent plant.
- 5. It is a stem that grows horizontally above the ground. Roots and leaves may develop from the nodes that touch the ground.
- 8. It is an underground stem that grows horizontally near the soil surface. Roots and buds develop at the nodes and grow into new plants.
- 9. It is an enlarged underground stem with "eyes" where buds develop. The buds develop stems and roots that grow into a new plant.
- 10. Onions and garlic are examples of the short, underground stems that contain stored food.
Down
- 1. Banana and pineapple plants are from these new shoots that grow from the plant's main stem.
- 2. It is a mode of plant reproduction where the stem of one plant is joined to the stem of another plant.
- 3. This artificial vegetative propagation involves burying a part of a stem while attached to its mother plant to create a new plant. The plant resulting from this procedure is identical to the mother plant.
- 6. This vegetative propagation is the process of growing plants from different plant parts, such as the stem, the roots, or the leaves.
- 7. It is an underground stem with scaly leaves and a thick stem base containing stored food. An example of this vegetative propagation is the gabi or taro plant.
