Vedclass · Answer

(C) When stem cuttings are planted for vegetative propagation,they lack a developed root system to absorb sufficient water from the soil. Leaves are the primary sites of transpiration,a process where water is lost as vapor. By removing some leaves,the total surface area available for transpiration is reduced. This helps in minimizing water loss,thereby preventing the cutting from wilting or drying out before it can establish a new root system.
