    What is the name of a young branch or root taken from an old plant for propagation?

    Question #93243. Asked by kartguy5. (Mar 06 08 6:15 PM)

    		A cutting?

    Many types of plants, both woody and herbaceous, are frequently propagated by cuttings. A cutting is a vegetative plant part which is severed from the parent plant in order to regenerate itself, thereby forming a whole new plant.

    Root cuttings are usually taken from 2 to 3 year old plants during their dormant season when they have a large carbohydrate supply. Root cuttings of some species produce new shoots, which then form their own root systems, while root cuttings of other plants develop root systems before producing new shoots.

    		We could be fancy and call it a "scion."
