|
A plant typically wants to disperse its seeds far away from the parent plant because
|
|
the soil and growing conditions will be better elsewhere.
|
|
|
the offspring will have better genetic diversity.
|
|
|
the offspring will have a better chance of cross-pollinating with unrelated individuals of the same species.
|
|
|
there will be more competition for resources, which ensure that only the strong survive.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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: -The movement of seeds away from their parent plant is called seed dispersal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Seeds that disperse farther from the parent plant are more likely to survive and grow, leading to a forest with many species of trees, with individuals from the same species spaced widely apart.
