Detailed explanation-1: -Animals can disperse seeds by excreting or burying them; other fruits have structures, such as hooks, that attach themselves to animals’ fur. Humans also play a role as dispersers by moving fruit to new places and discarding the inedible portions containing the seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -’Animals gulp down the fruits without chewing the seeds, digest the fleshy pulp and defecate the seeds. ‘ This ingestion process of dispersal is known as endozoochory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants lure animals into dispersing their seeds by producing yummy nuts, fruits, and seeds for them to eat. Once the animal has eaten and digested the seeds, it will deposit them in its feces which will then begin the growth process for a brand-new plant, often at a great distance from the parent plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals disperse seeds by carryng them on their body or by eating the fruit of a plant and disposing the seeds at some other location as they move.

Detailed explanation-5: -Seeds are dispersed in several different ways. In some plants seeds are housed within a fruit (such as apples or oranges). These fruits, including the seeds, are eaten by animals who then disperse the seeds when they defecate. Some fruits can be carried by water, such as a floating coconut.
