The process of reproduction or propagation by the formation and separation of buds (gemmae); asexual reproduction through budding.
From Latin 'gemma' (bud) + '-tion' (noun-forming suffix). The '-tion' suffix transforms verbs into nouns indicating processes, states, or actions.
Gemmation is one of nature's most reliable reproduction strategies—it's how coral creates reefs and how sponges claim territory without needing to find a mate, just keep budding!
