Dispersal of this seed is by water example
Answers
Answer:
I’m thinking about some seeds I picked from a river bank in Laos, which were of Entada phaseoloides. This is a leguminous climbing plant that produces huge pods and seeds that are 2–3” or ~6 cm across.
In fact there are several species of Entada, including Entada rheedii and Entada gigas, which are morphologically very similar, including the large seeds that are saline-tolerant and which feature a cavity that makes them especially buoyant. For the ethnobotanists the plant is interesting because it has many uses which are especially known to coastal and river-dwelling people around the world.
Answer:
Coconut seeds are dispersed by Hydrochory (dispersal by water).
Explanation:
Coconut seeds are dispersed by floating in the water and the fibrous mesocarp which gets modified in coconut helps the fruit to float as it becomes light in weight in water and it is able to cover a large distance.
