A Correct answer
Explanation

The germplasm theory proposed by August Weismann states that germ cells (reproductive cells) contain the hereditary information that is passed to offspring, while somatic cells (body cells) do not contribute to heredity. Vegetative reproduction in plants demonstrates this concept, as the new plant develops from germplasm rather than somatoplasm, supporting Weismann's theory of the continuity of the germplasm.
