•Fruits and seeds are dispersed so that young plants can get sufficient space, light, water and nutrients to grow well.
 
 Methods of Seed dispersal

● Methods of seed dispersal ● By wind ● By water ● By animals ● By explosion

● Examples

● Characteristics ● The fruits or seeds are usually small and ● The fruits jor seeds usually have a fib ● The fruits which are sweet and ● The furits dry up and spilt open to
light or have large surface area so that they rous structure that enables them to float juicy are eaten by animals. The release or scatter the seeds inside.
can be carried easily by the wind. E.g., on water. E.g., coconut, lotus, water lily seed are usually not digested E.g.,balsam, pea, geranium
cotton, poppy, maple , drumsticks and hydrilla.  ● e.g., guava berries , mangoes
