What's the difference between reproduce and spawn?

Reproduce


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To produce again.
  • (v. t.) To bring forward again; as, to reproduce a witness; to reproduce charges; to reproduce a play.
  • (v. t.) To cause to exist again.
  • (v. t.) To produce again, by generation or the like; to cause the existence of (something of the same class, kind, or nature as another thing); to generate or beget, as offspring; as, to reproduce a rose; some animals are reproduced by gemmation.
