What part of a cabbage will clone itself?

Here's why:

* Meristematic tissue is found in plants and is responsible for growth. It contains undifferentiated cells that can divide and develop into different types of plant cells.

* Cabbage meristem is located at the tip of the stem (apical meristem) and in the leaf axils (lateral meristems).

* Tissue culture techniques can utilize this meristematic tissue to create clones of the original cabbage plant. A small piece of meristem is taken and grown in a sterile medium, allowing it to develop into a complete new plant that is genetically identical to the parent plant.

So, while you can't just stick a cabbage leaf in the ground and expect it to grow, the meristematic tissue holds the key to cloning!
