Answer 1

Hint: Reproduction is the essential system of any human being, mammals and organisms be it vertebrates or invertebrates. It possesses the ability to produce new organisms of their own species hence maintaining the line of its species and further life processes. Vegetative reproduction is a mode asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction refers to the non-involvement of gametes or where no fusion takes place between individuals.

Complete Explanation:
Vegetative reproduction is any method of asexual plant reproduction in which a new plant can grow from a plant component or fragment. Many plants reproduce this way naturally, but they can also be developed or cultured intentionally.
As we discussed the types of vegetative propagation its advantages let us know more about the types of vegetative propagation. There are two types of methods – natural means and artificial means. Runners, bulbs, tubers, corms, suckers, plantlets, and apomixis are examples of natural methods. Artificial includes-grafting, cutting, layering, suckering, tissue culture etc.
Potato is an outcome of vegetative propagation and it is a tuber. Potatoes or sweet potatoes have occurred from tubers. Scientific name of sweet potato is- “Ipomea batatas”. The sweet potato is a dicotyledonous plant. It is sweet in taste and has a gluey appearance when roasted.

Note:
As we know, scientific names are assigned and are designated for the identification of species. So that it did not get confused and mixed up with other classification. As there are a huge variety of species, hence it is important to have it named. Scientists who discovered their work named it relating to their own convenience. That is how classification and names are stored in data or records.
