|
oxygen

water

|
nutrients

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -This is important because if the seeds are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant. This results in competition between every one of the seedlings as well as with the parent plant. The competition is for light, space, water and nutrients.
