HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Seed dispersal by plants is a passive process, but various plant and seed features aid in their dispersal. The goal of seed dispersal in space is to seek out new and better environments for future generations, to aid in genetic mixing among individuals, and to not be competing with parent plant or future ‘siblings.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why is scattering necessary? Several plants scatter their seeds to ensure the growth of the plants at varying distances. The growth of the plants closer to each other can leads to difficulty in survival as the plants have to compete for light, water and nutrients from the soil.
