- B. Asexual reproduction
- C. Zygote
- D. None of the above
Explanation
The production of new plants from underground stems is an example of vegetative propagation. Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals are produced from vegetative structures such as stems, roots, or leaves, rather than from seeds. In the case of underground stems, such as rhizomes, or tubers, buds or nodes along the stem can give rise to new shoots and roots, leading to the formation of new plants. This method of reproduction allows plants to rapidly increase their numbers and spread, often forming dense colonies or clumps.
