    Apogamy is a type of reproduction process in certain plants and algae where the embryo is formed directly from vegetative cells of the gametophyte, rather than by the fusion of male and female gametes (sexual reproduction). This process results in offspring genetically identical to the parent organism, bypassing the typical fertilization phase.
