Answer 1

Moringa (drum stick) seeds are dispersed by winds as they possess wings which are whitish papery .

It is found mostly in the coolest region of southern India and Thailand.  

 

Since there is constant rainfall and winds, the seeds are dispersed by wings. These plants are particularly suitable for dry regions.  

The irrigation techniques are very cost effective.  

If the whole part of Moringa dries, the capsule are splitted and gets dispersed in winds using papery wings which it possess.
