The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."

Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.
They use robo arms to just rub people's limp bodies together.
Upvote for the hillarious image in my head.
For me, that, but with “Now Procreate!”
I completely forgot about that part of the movie. Thanks for the reminder!
I think you are due for a re-watch! It's great when it's been a few years and you can enjoy some of the bits you forgot about.
Unfortunately we can never experience the big reveal for the first time again. It was absolutely mind-blowing watching him wake up in the pod on the big theater screen for the first time. That was the coolest movie experience I've ever had.
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. So many firsts to revisit
Are you saying to watch ESotSM, or to utilize its one weird trick?
Both
Sorry, who are you?
Its me! Dont you remember?
Listen, this is getting creepy.
Wait, who am I?
They actually touch on it in the animated movie that spanned a series of vignettes from that universe.
Spoiler alert: it ain’t pretty.
Animatrix movie?
The word "matrix" literally means "womb" in its older sense.

Why even grow them with arms and legs if they are just going to be batteries? Wouldn't it be easier to just grow cows instead?
Because shut up. /s
But really though, the entire concept of using humans as batteries is absurd. Don't think too hard about it, just enjoy the movie.
They mate sprem and egg in lab then grown in vat, which is better. Or clone, could be worst.
