Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Explanation: 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: -Seed dispersal through water is called hydrocolloid. The seeds of plants that grow in or near running water are usually dispersed by water. Common examples are coconut and lotus. These fruits and seeds have several adaptations for swimming in water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Such seeds float on air and are thus dispersed by wind. Example: Dandelion, maple, drumstick, etc. Dispersal by Water: Dispersal by water takes place in some aquatic plants and in some which grow near a water body.
