Seed dispersal

Summary: Seeds are dispersed (spread) away from each other and from the parent plant. This is so they have space to grow. It is also so they do not compete for resources such as nutrients. Nearly all seeds are found inside fruits. This increases the number of ways they can be dispersed. The main methods of seed dispersal are: - wind - animal - water - explosive.
