Yes. Plants can reproduce in several other ways. They can split into two, they can grow buds that develop into new cells, they can make spores (as ferns do) or they can reproduce by vegetative propagation. This happens in strawberry plants. The plant sends out a long stem, called a runner, which sprouts roots. If the runner 1s then cut, its rooted part will grow into a new plant. Similarly, if you cut the eye, or bud, from a potato and plant it, it will send out a shoot to make a new potato plant.
Can a plant reproduce itself without making seeds?
