Would it be wrong to call plants obtained through micro-propagation as ‘clone’? Comment.

Solution: No, it is not incorrect because each plant will be genetically identical to the original plant from which it was developed, i.e., clones/soma clones.

A clone is a live entity that is genetically identical to its single parent and is created asexually. As a result, it will not be incorrect to refer to plants propagated by micropropagation as clones because they will be genetically identical to their parents.
