In the process of vegetative propagation, which part of the plant is used in grafting?

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (A) Stem

Explanation:

• In grafting, a process of vegetative propagation, the stem is typically used. Grafting involves joining two different plant parts, the scion (the upper part) and the rootstock (the lower part), to grow as a single plant.
• The scion is usually a stem or a bud of a plant with desired qualities, and it is grafted onto a rootstock that has a strong root system.

Other Options:

•  Leaf: Leaves are not used in grafting; they may be used in other forms of vegetative propagation, such as leaf cuttings.
• Seed: Seeds are used in sexual reproduction, not in grafting.
•  Root: Roots are not typically used in grafting; however, rootstocks are, which are part of the root system of a plant.
