Grafting

/ˈɡræftɪŋ/noun / verb
ELI5 mode

Grafting is the horticultural or surgical technique of joining a piece of living tissue, such as a stem or skin, to another so they grow as a single unit, often to propagate desirable traits or repair damage. This method relies on the compatibility of tissues and has evolved to include advanced applications in modern agriculture and medicine, like creating disease-resistant crops or reconstructing burn injuries. It's a clever fusion of biology and innovation that highlights nature's adaptability in human hands.
