Answer 1

Stems and roots could reproduce without seeds. Stems can "reproduce" if you take a cutting of the plant and grow it in a separate pot. Roots can definitely reproduce without seeds.

Answer 2

NOT fruit or flower because these have to do with the production and dispersal of seeds.

Plants can be reproduced vegetatively from:
ROOTS - a root can grow a new plant
STEMS - can produce roots called adventitious roots and develop into new plants that can be grown
LEAVES - on some plants such as kalanchoe, jade plant, begonia, African violet, etc., can put out roots and produce new plants.

Add buds to this list.

Answer 3

Any plant that can have cuttings or graftings taken off them, or plants that grow up from one main root. Lilacs send out shoots from the original root... Strawberries send out runners with baby plants on them... Hope those ideas help!

Answer 4

I was pulling weeds in my backyard and noticed that half of the weeds were part of a large, complex root system. Basically on big plant that sprouted in many places. So I'd have to say the roots.

Answer 5

depending on the plant the root can reproduce a new plant if the root cutting is big enough.
