Grafting is an asexual propagation technique where tissues of one plant (the scion) are joined to those of another (the rootstock) so that they unite and continue to grow as one plant. This allows combining desirable traits from two different plants.

Grafting involves joining parts of two plants (scion and rootstock) to grow together.

Layering is a method where a portion of an aerial stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant. Cutting involves taking a piece of a plant (stem, root, or leaf) and rooting it to form a new independent plant. Budding is a type of grafting where a single bud is used as the scion.
