How plants are benefitted by seed dispersal? Plants are benefited because when the seeds are dispersed by wind or animals a new plant grows from that seed.
6. After a rainy season, while Mani was strolling in her garden, noticed many small plants of various fruits and flowers which were not present in her garden. She wondered where they had come from as nobody had planted them there. As Mani loves gardening she started cleaning the area around the small plants and taking care of them.

Answer:
Explanation:
Plants make seeds that can grow into new plants, but if the seeds just fall to the ground under the parent plant, they might not get enough sun, water or nutrients from the soil. Dandelion seeds float away in the wind. ...
Answer:
Seed dispersal is likely to have several benefits for different plant species. First, seed survival is often higher away from the parent plant. ... Seed dispersal also allows plants to reach specific habitats that are favorable for survival, a hypothesis known as directed dispersal.
6. I don't knw !
a) Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves the production of male and female gametes, the transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules in a process called pollination. After pollination occurs, fertilization happens and the ovules grow into seeds within a fruit.
b) an unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development, in particular a human offspring during the period from approximately the second to the eighth week after fertilization (after which it is usually termed a fetus).
c) Plants grown in Mani's garden may have come from the seeds dispersed through various agents like animals, wind, water, etc. Which on getting favourable conditions have germinated into plants.
d) After fertilisation, the ovary grows into a fruit and other parts of the flower fall off. The ripened ovary is called fruit. The seeds develop from the ovules.
