-leaf margin
What form of reproduction is shown?

Answer 1

Answer:

Asexual (vegetative) reproduction

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves only a single parent. As opposed to sexual reproduction, it does not involve the formation of sex cells or gametes.

According to this question, Bryophyllum, which is a plant known to propagate itself via its leaves is practicing a form of asexual reproduction called VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION, which is the propagation of a plant via its vegetative parts e.g. stems, leaves, cuttings etc.
