Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. It is a process by which new individuals arise without production of seeds or spores

Binary fission

the parent organism is replaced by two daughter organisms, because it literally divides in two. Many single-celled organisms, both prokaryotes (the archaea and the bacteria), and eukaryotes (such as protists and unicellular fungi), reproduce asexually this way

Spore

a reproductive body, produced by bacteria, fungi, various plants and some protozoans, that develops into a new individual

 a form of asexual reproduction or cloning where an organism is split into fragments. The splitting may or may not be intentional. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are a clone of the original organism.
