Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is "vegetative reproduction." This form of reproduction involves the growth and development of offspring directly from the stem or root of a plant. To identify this answer, you can understand the process of vegetative reproduction. In vegetative reproduction, plants produce new individuals from specialized structures like stems, roots, or leaves. These structures can give rise to new plant clones without the involvement of seeds or the fusion of gametes. Examples of vegetative reproduction include runners (such as strawberry plants), bulbs (like tulips or daffodils), and tubers (such as potatoes). To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options. Fragmentation is a form of reproduction where an organism breaks into fragments, and each fragment grows into a new individual. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where offspring develops as a small outgrowth or bud on the body of the parent organism. Binary fission is a mode of reproduction used by single-celled organisms like bacteria, where the cell divides into two identical cells. Therefore, the correct option is "vegetative reproduction."
