Antherozoid
In sexually reproduction organisms, the male gamete is called the antherozoid or sperm and the female gamete is known as the egg or ovum. They are not used for vegetative propagation.

Vegetative reproduction by layering is found in:
-
jasmine
-
mango
-

All of these
Which of the following involves the formation of new plants from roots, stems, and leaves?
-
Sexual reproduction
-
Vegetative reproduction
-
Layering
-
None of the above
Which is not a method of vegetative propagation?
-
Micropropagation
-
Budding
-
Sowing
-
Layering
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Here, only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent.
Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern tissue culture methods.
Layering is a means of plant propagation, in which a portion of an aerial stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant.
Sowing is to scatter the seeds over the land for growth
So, the correct answer is 'Sowing'
Vegetative propagation does not involve the formation of new plants from old
-
Roots
-
Stems
-
Leaves
-
Flowers
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent.
Almost all types of shoots and roots are capable of vegetative propagation, including, stems, basal shoots, tubers, rhizomes, stolons, corms, bulbs, and buds. In a few species, even leaves are involved in vegetative propagation. However, flowers are never involved in vegetative propagation.
Plants have lost their capacity to produce seeds, reproduce by
-
Spores
-
Vegetative propagation
-
Fission
-
Regeneration
If the plants lose their capacity to produce seed, the plant undergoes asexual reproduction through their vegetative parts like stem, leaf, branch, etc.

Ginger is an example of rhizome which is underground modification of the stem. The rhizome grows horizontally to the surface of the soil.
