What is grafting? How is whip grafting?

Grafting is the type of vegetative propagation in which a plant of superior quality is obtained by combining the root of a plant and shoot of other plant.
In whip grafting, the scion and the stock are cut slanting and then joined. The grafted point is then bound with tape or plastic and covered with soft wax to prevent dehydration and germs. The scion and stock combine within 2-3 months. Then the plastic tape can be removed.
