I’m not sure how much of it is speculation and how much of it is from Tolkien’s work, but I think orcs were theorised to be corrupted elves. That’s to say, they likely still have a reproductive cycle like presumably elves have, they just split off and evolved into their own branch.
I guess, similar to how the work in The Elder Scrolls.
Furthermore, from the orcs enthusiastic reaction to meat’s reappearance on the menu, we can surmise that orcs were formerly omnivorous and were forced into a vegetarian diet for unknown reasons.
That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:

This could be completely wrong though.
