The bright colorful fruits attract animals and birds. They eat the entire fruit but only the juicy part is digested by their system and the seeds are excreted out in the form of their dropping, which forms into new plants. Plants such as BlackBerry, tomato, apple, cherry, etc. seeds are dispersed in this way.
There are some plants which bear seeds with hooks. The seeds of these plants catches on the fur of animals and are carried to different places, far from their parent plants. Burdock plant is an example of this type of plant species.
some squirrels collect nuts from different plants and bury them under soil as they store food for the winter season and often forget the place where they have previously buried them and the seeds grow into new plants.
