Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of this the force is imported which helps in the the movement of the seed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The wind is the natural and fundamental means of seed dispersal in the plant kingdom. This process of dispersal is mainly seen in those plants which bear very light seeds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Seed dispersal can be accomplished through both abiotic and biotic mechanisms. Abiotic dispersal involves wind and water; biotic dispersal involves autogenic mechanisms, such as explosive fruits, and various animal agents, including insects, fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire. Dandelion seeds float away in the wind.
Detailed explanation-5: -Plants such as burdock have hooks to which the seed is attached. These hooks easily get caught in the fur of mammals as they pass by the plant. At some point the seed will fall, often a considerable distance from the parent. If conditions are right the seed will germinate and grow into a new plant.
