It seems if you bury the yukkuri, then use a pair of special ampoules, the core becomes a seed and sprouts a small plant, which essentially acts as a stalk to produce a virtual clone of the dead yukkuri.
it's going to be alive and conscious while entombed and helpless underground, I know it.
I think it shuts off all the senses too and allocate all resource on regeneration function. So it doesn't have any consciousness or feeling anymore and just doing a task to absorb nutrition and grow.

One final self-preservation mechanic.
Wha, what are you doing?And extend out of the groundPaste CoreYukkuri don't die unless you destroy the paste core... that also meansWhen they’re alive like animals, the paste core literally functions as the brainFirst, bury the yukkuri under a good soil (from mountain, farm, or garden)As long as the core is fine, they’re still alive. Or more precisely, in state of suspended animationBut when the body dies, the Paste Core will use a function from yukkuri’s original nature as plant, and changed itself into “seed” to protect its existenceAnd then, underground, it will absorb the nutrients from soil and its own corpse to sproutUsually this would take time, but you can shorten the regeneration time by using ampule or something like that to increase the nutrients in the soil
