Detailed explanation-1: -Seed dispersion or seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. This is to avoid the competition between parent plant and their siblings for light, space, water and nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seed dispersal is the transport of seeds away from the parent plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species. If plants grow too closely together, they have to compete for light, water and nutrients from the soil. Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire.
Detailed explanation-5: -It is important for the seeds of many plants, especially perennials, to travel away from the parent plant-far from the tree. If all the seeds grew close to each other, they would have to compete for space, sun, water, and nutrients-and eventually die from overcrowding. Nature has developed mechanisms to avoid this.
