65 - How do plants reproduce?

Plant reproduction can happen in two main ways:

1. Seeds: Some plants produce flowers. Inside the flowers, male and female parts join to make seeds. When seeds are ripe, they fall off and grow into new plants in a process called germination.

2. No seeds (vegetative reproduction): Other plants can reproduce without making seeds. This can happen through:

3. Runners: Plants like strawberries make long stems that touch the ground and grow into new plants.
4. Cuts and roots: We can cut parts of plants (like stems or roots) and plant them in soil to grow new plants.
5. Tubers: Some plants like potatoes grow underground parts that can grow into new plants.

Plants can reproduce in many ways to make more plants.
