The parts of a plant can be divided into two groups, sexual reproductive parts and vegetative parts. Sexual reproductive parts are those involved in the production of seed. They include flower buds, flowers, fruit, and seeds. The vegetative parts include leaves, roots, leaf buds, and stems. Although the vegetative parts are not directly involved in sexual reproduction, they are often used in asexual or vegetative forms of reproduction, such as cuttings.
