Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: 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-2: -It also prevents the overcrowding of seeds in one place and allows them to obtain enough space and develop into healthy plants. Q. Why is it important for plants to scatter or disperse their seeds?
Detailed explanation-3: -Seed dispersal promotes the survival of plant species. It allows plants to unfold in an extensive area. Thus, preventing plants from competing for light, water, and nutrients from the soil, which occurs when plants grow closer to each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seed dispersal prevents overcrowding. Without dispersal, the seeds would fall near the parent plant and would probably not germinate since it would be competing with the parent plant space and nutrients.
Detailed explanation-5: -Seed dispersal can be advantageous (1) in escape from density-or distance-dependent seed and seedling mortality, (2) by colonization of suitable sites unpredictable in space and time, and (3) by directed dispersal to particular sites with a relatively high probability of survival.
