Answer:

Sexual reproduction

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction, the same genes are transferred to the next generation because there is no combination of genes takes place so the rate of variation is very less in asexual reproduction and in sexual reproduction combination of different genes from two different parents occurs which give rise to genetic variation.

So when the plant is put in an environment where harmful bacteria are present then it will prefer sexual reproduction to bring variation in its genome so that it can get the ability to fight against these pathogenic bacteria.  

The plants that reproduced asexually will be eradicated by pathogens because they can not get the new genes to fight against the pathogen due to lack of appropriate variation in their gene.

Habitats of the plants:

X : winter or cold mountainous habitat

Y : desert habitat

Z:  Aquatic habitat

Explanation:

The X plant leave morphology suggests that thick wax coating of leaf helps it to retain water in it. Such plants are called conifers. They are not shed every year so suitable for sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis. In cold regions heavy wind happens cone like leaf is able to resist the winds and prevent it from falling. The cone like structure of leaves help them let the snowfall.

The plant Y leaves and root morphology suggests that it is well suited for dry lands or desert as where less water is there. They store water for longer time when it rains because of the extensive root system. The spine leaves help in reduced transpiration as water scarcity is there.

The plant Z leaves morphology suggests that thin and ribbon structure leaves can help them resist the pressures of flowing water as there are air space in the leaves which provide buoyancy to the leaves.
