The term is "clone" and basically just means taking a cutting to produce a
clone of the original plant with the same genetics and attributes.
Not always and not usually. Clone of plant matter is generally done by
selective tissue culture. It's a bit different than taking a cutting.
Nope - scientifically, to clone is to reproduce the parent plant exactly.
Cuttings do just that, just as tissue culture does.
