Attenuate Showing a long gradual slender taper; usually applied to apices, but equally appropriate for bases of leaves, petals, etc.
Asexual propagation is the best way to maintain some species, particularly an individual that best represents that species. Clones are groups of plants that are identical to their one parent and that can only be propagated asexually.
Asexual propagation is also referred to as 'vegetative propagation.' Where the seed is actually part of the plant's reproductive system, vegetative propagation uses plant parts that aren't typically part of the reproductive system - like the leaves, ...

Cutting -a. growing tip cut from a parent plant for asexual propagation b. clone

Damping-off - fungus disease that attacks young seedlings and cuttings causing them to rot at the base: Over-watering is the main cause of damping-off.
Many plant propagation techniques are asexual. The most common methods of asexual propagation include cuttings, layering, and division.
