Answer

Vegetative reproduction refers to plant growth where an independent plant grows from a fragment of a parent plant. This is widely exploited by humans because it allows us to cultivate a new plant from limited resources. This gives us a chance to "salvage" the reproducing parts of a plant by implanting into another plant.
