Why do internodal segments of sugarcane fail to propagate vegetatively even when they are in contact with damp soil ?

Solution
Sugarcane plants propagate vegetatively only when nodes are in contact with damp soil and not from the internodes. Adventitious roots emerge from nodes, so even if the internodes are in contact with the damp soil the plant fails to propagate.
