What is the difference?
- 1Structure: Plantlet refers to a small, self-sufficient plant, while runner is a stem that grows horizontally along the ground.
- 2Function: Plantlet is a complete plant that can grow independently, while runner is a means of vegetative propagation.
- 3Location: Plantlet typically grows on the parent plant, while runner grows along the ground.
- 4Propagation: Plantlet can be used for both sexual and asexual reproduction, while runner is primarily used for asexual reproduction.
- 5Usage: Plantlet is often used in indoor gardening and houseplants, while runner is more commonly used in outdoor gardening and landscaping.
Remember this!
Plantlet and runner are both related to plants and involve growth and propagation. However, the difference between them lies in their structure, function, location, propagation, and usage. A plantlet is a small, self-sufficient plant that can grow independently and is used for both sexual and asexual reproduction. On the other hand, a runner is a stem that grows horizontally along the ground and is primarily used for asexual reproduction in outdoor gardening and landscaping.
