Justify that sexual reproduction in plants is more beneficial than asexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction in plants ensures genetic diversity, which helps species adapt to environmental changes and resist diseases. It also promotes evolution by allowing the combination of different traits from two parents. In contrast, asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, limiting adaptability.
