Plants have different ways of reproducing, including both sexual and asexual methods. Some plants are capable of reproducing through a process called apomixis, which allows them to produce seeds without fertilization.

In apomixis, the plant produces an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. This embryo can then develop into a new plant through a process similar to sexual reproduction. However, since there is no fusion of gametes, the offspring produced through apomixis are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Apomixis is relatively rare in the plant kingdom, and not all plants are capable of reproducing in this way. However, some important crops, such as certain types of citrus fruits and grasses, are known to reproduce through apomixis, which can be useful for plant breeders who want to produce plants with desirable traits that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
