DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Seeds dispersed by water are found in light and buoyant fruits, while those dispersed by wind may have specialized wing-like appendages. Animals can disperse seeds by excreting or burying them; other fruits have structures, such as hooks, that attach themselves to animals’ fur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seeds travel in five main ways: by wind, gravity, water, and animals, and ballistically. Plants often rely upon one of these methods, but they can be combined.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water dispersal Plants living along streams and rivers have seeds that float downstream, and therefore become germinate at new sites. The size of the seed is not a factor in determining whether or not a seed can float. Some very large seeds, like coconuts, can float. Some small seeds also float.
