Sexual propagation uses which plant parts to grow seeds?

• A. Roots and leaves
• B. Male and female parts
• C. Leaves only
• D. Rootstock and scion

Answer: (B)

Seeds form through fertilization of ovules by pollen, so the essential components are the plant’s male and female reproductive parts. The male part, or stamen, produces pollen, while the female part, or pistil, contains ovules inside the ovary that become fertilized when pollen lands on the stigma. Once fertilization occurs, the ovules develop into seeds. This is different from methods that use vegetative tissues like roots or leaves, or grafting with rootstock and scion, which do not produce seeds.
