# Reproduction in Plants ## We Already Know - Root, stem and their functions - Flowers, fruits and seeds - Buds turn into flowers - Flowers turn into fruits - Fruits have seeds ## We Will Learn About - New plants grow from stem, root, leaves, cones - Reproduction in flowering plants - Parts of a flower - Fruit formation All living beings reproduce their own kind. Plants also reproduce to give rise to new plants. We can study reproduction in plants in two parts: 1. Reproduction in plants through seeds 2. Reproduction in plants through other parts ## Vegetative Propagation Think: You must have seen new plants growing from seeds. Do you think all plants grow from seeds? _Reflective Thinking_ Root, stem and leaf are called vegetative parts. Growth of new plants from vegetative parts is known as vegetative propagation. Let us study vegetative propagation first. We will learn about reproduction through seeds in the next chapter. ## Plants from Roots Some roots, like those of sweet potato, dahlia, carrot and radish can give rise to new plants. If we cut the top portion of a carrot and plant it in the ground, new plant will grow from it.
