propagation of plants definition of propagation of plants in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

propagation of plants is effected in nature chiefly sexually by the seed seed, fertilized and ripened ovule, consisting of the plant embryo, varying amounts of stored food material, and a protective outer seed coat. Seeds are frequently confused with the fruit enclosing them in flowering plants as in the grains and nuts.

The term reproduction may refer to this power of self-duplication of a single cell or a multicellular animal or plant organism.
