True or False? The adventitious root is formed from the shoot tissues and are used when cloning plants from cuttings.

The statement is accurate because adventitious roots are indeed formed from shoot tissues and are essential in the process of cloning plants from cuttings. When a cutting is taken from a plant, it typically consists of a portion of the stem or leaf. Under the right conditions, such as humidity and temperature, plant hormones like auxins are stimulated, prompting the shoot tissue to form roots, which are referred to as adventitious roots. These roots enable the cutting to establish a root system and take up water and nutrients from the soil, allowing it to grow into a new, independent plant. This capability is crucial for asexual reproduction techniques such as layering and cuttings, both commonly used in horticulture and agriculture.

The response options that suggest the statement is false, sometimes true, or dependent on the species do not accurately reflect that adventitious roots are a fundamental characteristic of many plant species' cloning processes through cuttings, confirming that the original statement is true.
