Asexual propagation is a type of plant reproduction using roots, stems, or leaves of a parent plant. Asexual propagation produces a genetically identical plant to the parent plant.

Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.

The most common method for asexual propagation is from cuttings. A cutting is any detached plant part which, under favorable conditions for regeneration of missing parts, will produce a new plant identical to the parent plant.

Hope that help:)
