The correct answer is vegetative reproduction.
The correct answer is "vegetative reproduction."
To determine the answer, you can first identify the keywords in the question, which are "modified stem or root of a parent plant," and "offspring that remain attached." This suggests that we are looking for a process in plants where a modified stem or root grows offspring that stay connected.
Next, you can eliminate options that are not related to plants. For example, binary fission is a process of cell division in bacteria and other single-celled organisms, and tuber reproduction is not a term commonly used in plant reproduction.
Lastly, fragmentation refers to the breaking apart of plant parts, but it does not specifically involve a modified stem or root growing offspring that remain attached.
Therefore, the correct answer is "vegetative reproduction," as it encompasses the process described in the question.
