Stems and roots could reproduce without seeds. Stems can "reproduce" if you take a cutting of the plant and grow it in a separate pot. Roots can definitely reproduce without seeds.
Reply:NOT fruit or flower because these have to do with the production and dispersal of seeds.





Plants can be reproduced vegetatively from:


ROOTS - a root can grow a new plant


STEMS - can produce roots called adventitious roots and develop into new plants that can be grown


LEAVES - on some plants such as kalanchoe, jade plant, begonia, African violet, etc., can put out roots and produce new plants.





Add buds to this list.
Reply:I was pulling weeds in my backyard and noticed that half of the weeds were part of a large, complex root system. Basically on big plant that sprouted in many places. So I'd have to say the roots.
Reply:depending on the plant the root can reproduce a new plant if the root cutting is big enough.
