Detailed explanation-1: -Seed dispersal prevents competition between the plant and its own seedlings for sunlight, water and minerals. It also enables the plants to invade new habitats for wider distribution.
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: -Dispersal means the distribution of seeds far away from the parent plant. 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-4: -So, seed dispersal helps the plants to prevent overcrowding and avoid competition for sunlight.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Because overcrowding may end up creating competition among the seeds for water, sunlight and nutrients. This may prohibit the growth of young plants as competition proves to be harmful to them.
