vegetative propagation (vegetative reproduction) A reproductive process that is asexual and so does not involved a recombination of genetic material. It involves unspecialized plant parts which may become reproductive structures, e.g. roots, stems, or leaves. Compared with sexual reproduction, it represents a saving of material and energy for the plant. It is especially common among grasses.
