Unlike seed reproduction, farmers usually use asexual reproduction to grow pineapples. Asexual reproduction is the use of the mother plant’s nutritional organs such as suckers and runners for planting. In this way, the traits of the plant can be kept consistent between generations. However, even under the premise of asexual reproduction, certain variations
