9.2 Plant Reproduction & Pollination

How Plants Reproduce

As we've already touched on in Section 8, many plants rely on bees for pollination in order to reproduce. There are two ways in which plants can reproduce:

Asexually—through cloning themselves or making runners

Sexually—through pollination

The following video will explain both methods, with a focus on the latter.
