Why is dispersal of seeds important in plant production?
Seed Dispersal and Conservation Seed dispersal is the mechanism by which plant seeds are transported to new sites for germination and the establishment of new individuals. Animals commonly mediate this process, and consequently, the ultimate fate of seeds depends on their effectiveness as seed dispersers.
Do plants scatter their seeds for proper growth?
In natural way plants scatter their seeds in order to ensure that they do not grow too close to one another for their proper growth. The process by which the seeds are scattered away from the mother plants is called DISPERSAL or Dispersal of Seeds. There are many ways of dispersal of seeds.
How seeds can be scattered dispersed?

What is scattering of seeds called?
Seed dispersal is the movement, spread or transport of seeds away from the parent plant.
How plants spread their seeds?
Plants disperse their seeds in lots of different ways. Some seeds are transported by the wind and are shaped to float, glide or spin through the air. Plants growing near a river may use the flowing water to transport their seeds. Many plants also use animals to carry their seeds.
How do plants disperse their seeds?
Why do plants scatter their seeds Class 5?

How is this seed most likely scattered?
Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire.
