$(a)$ What is vegetative propagation?
$(b)$ Write any two advantages of practising this method.

(N/A) Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants are produced from vegetative parts such as roots,stems,and leaves,rather than from seeds or spores,under appropriate environmental conditions.
$(b)$ Two advantages of vegetative propagation are:
$(i)$ It allows for the propagation of plants that do not produce viable seeds,such as bananas,oranges,and grapes.
$(ii)$ Plants produced through this method are genetically identical to the parent plant,ensuring that desirable traits are preserved and the offspring reach maturity and bear fruit/flowers faster than those grown from seeds.
