Natural vegetative propagation occurs when plants reproduce from vegetative parts like stems, roots, or leaves.
1. Runners (Stolons):
Horizontal stems that grow along the soil surface and produce new plants at nodes.
Example: Strawberry, Grass.
2. Tubers:
Swollen underground stems that store food and produce new shoots.
Example: Potato.
3. Bulbs:
Underground storage organs consisting of fleshy leaves surrounding a central bud.
Example: Onion, Garlic.
4. Rhizomes:
Underground horizontal stems that develop new shoots and roots at nodes.
Example: Ginger, Bamboo.
