Answer:
- Plants can disperse themselves through water using a technique known as hydrochory.
- Many creatures find it difficult to cross bodies of water like rivers, lakes, or oceans, which restricts their ability to spread out to new places.
Explanation:
- The term "hydrochory" describes the spreading of plant fruits or seeds by water.
- Certain plants have developed fruit or seeds that can float, enabling them to be carried by water to new areas.
- For instance, the coconut palm tree can spread and colonise new locations because its fruit can float on water and be carried by ocean currents to new islands.
- On the other hand, as most creatures are not equipped to survive in water for extended periods of time, water can restrict the spread of animals.
- An animal may not be able to navigate if it is carried away by water.
- The animal may not be able to find its way back to its former home after being carried away by the water, or it may not be able to locate food or shelter in the new area.
- A land-dwelling animal, such as a deer, could not be able to cross a wide river, which would prohibit it from dispersing to other place
