What do regeneration and vegetative reproduction have in common?

Regeneration and vegetative reproduction are both processes that allow plants to produce new individuals from existing plant material.

- Regeneration is the process by which a plant can regrow lost or damaged tissues. This can occur from specialized cells called meristems, which are found in the root tips, stems, and leaves of plants. Meristematic cells can divide and differentiate to form new cells, which can then be used to replace damaged tissue.

- Vegetative reproduction is the process by which a new plant is formed from a vegetative part of an existing plant, such as a stem, leaf, or root. This can occur naturally, such as when a stem or leaf falls from a plant and takes root in the soil, or it can be done artificially, such as when a gardener takes a cutting from a plant and plants it in new soil.

Both regeneration and vegetative reproduction allow plants to reproduce and spread without the need for pollination and seed dispersal.
