Question
- name three ways seeds can spread and be replanted.
Brief Explanations
- Wind Dispersal: Some seeds (like dandelion seeds) have structures that allow them to be carried by wind over long distances. The lightweight, feathery or wing - like structures help them float in the air until they land in a suitable place to germinate.
- Animal Dispersal: Animals can disperse seeds in two main ways. First, seeds can attach to the fur or feathers of animals (e.g., burdock seeds with hooks) and be carried to new locations. Second, animals may eat fruits containing seeds, and the seeds are later excreted in a different area, often with a supply of fertilizer (the animal's waste), which helps in germination.
- Water Dispersal: Seeds of plants that grow near water (like coconuts or water lilies) can be carried by water. The seeds are often buoyant and can travel along rivers, streams, or ocean currents to new habitats where they can take root.
