Clonal plants are organisms that reproduce asexually, creating genetically identical copies, or clones, of themselves. This process often occurs through structures like runners, rhizomes, or bulbs, allowing the plant to spread and occupy more space without needing seeds. These plants can thrive in various environments and often form dense colonies. Examples include strawberries, which produce runners, and aspen trees, which can grow from a shared root system. Clonal reproduction helps plants survive in challenging conditions and can lead to the establishment of large, interconnected communities.
