The correct answer is vegetative reproduction.
The process by which a modified stem or root of a parent plant grows offspring that remain attached is called vegetative reproduction.
The correct answer is vegetative reproduction. To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options that do not match the defined process of growth and attachment.
Binary fission is a type of reproduction in prokaryotes where a single organism divides into two identical organisms. This does not involve the growth of offspring attached to a parent plant, so we can eliminate this option.
Tuber reproduction refers to the production of new plants through the formation of tubers, which are modified underground stems used for storage. While this involves modified stems, it does not specifically describe the process of offspring growing while remaining attached to the parent plant. Therefore, we can eliminate this option as well.
Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where a parent organism breaks into fragments, and each fragment grows into a separate individual. This does not involve the growth of offspring that remain attached, so we can eliminate this as an answer.
Finally, the only option that matches the description of the process is vegetative reproduction. This process involves the growth of offspring from modified stems or roots, while remaining attached to the parent plant. Therefore, the correct answer is vegetative reproduction.
