The correct answer is vegetative reproduction.
The correct answer is vegetative reproduction.
To arrive at the answer, we can eliminate the options through a process of elimination:
1. Binary fission: Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single organism divides into two identical organisms. It does not involve plant reproduction.
2. Tuber reproduction: Tubers are modified stems or roots that store nutrients for the plant, such as potatoes. While plants can reproduce using tubers, it does not involve offspring remaining attached.
3. Fragmentation: Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into fragments, and each fragment grows to become a new individual. This does not involve modified stems or roots.
4. Vegetative reproduction: Vegetative reproduction is a process in which modified stems or roots of a parent plant grow offspring that remain attached. This includes methods like runners, stolons, and rhizomes, where the offspring are connected to the parent plant.
Therefore, the correct answer is vegetative reproduction.
