Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources. Seeds are dispersed in several different ways. In some plants seeds are housed within a fruit (such as apples or oranges).
Detailed explanation-2: -A related dispersal method, called ballistic dispersal, uses forces generated by the plant itself, like mechanical tension or water pressure, to disperse seed. At maturity, the seed-containing structures act like a cannon or catapult, launching the seed far away from the parent plant.
