new genetically identical plants can be made easily by taking what from the parent plant?

New genetically identical plants can be made easily by taking cuttings from the parent plant. Cuttings are portions of a plant stem, leaf, or root that are cut off and used to produce a new plant. This method creates plants that are genetically identical to the parent and is a simple and common technique used for cloning plants quickly and economically. It avoids the time and variability involved in growing plants from seeds and preserves the exact genetic traits of the parent plant.
