The creation of genetically identical offspring by a single parent, without the participation of sperm and egg, is called asexual reproduction.

In this type of reproduction, there is no sexual contact between the parents, which would be a sexual reproduction. There is no contact between sperm from the male and egg from a female, so it has to be asexual, because no such things are involved.
