Passage :
Following are the various methods of seed dispersal:
Dispersal by Wind: Seeds of some plants are light-weight and some hair-like or wing-like structures
are present on them. Such seeds float on air and are thus dispersed by wind. Example: Dandelion,
maple, drumstick, etc.
Dispersal by Water: Dispersal by water takes place in some aquatic plants and in some which grow
near a water body. Seeds of water lily float and thus dispersed by water. The coconut seed has a tough
fibrous covering which has plenty of air inside. This helps the coconut seeds in floating on water.
Dispersal by Animals: Some seeds have spine like structures on them. They get stuck to the fur of
animals and thus get spread to different places. Examples; Beggar tick, Xanthium, etc. Some seeds are
swallowed by birds and animals along with fruits. These seeds get dispersed with bird or animal
droppings.
Dispersal by Bursting: Some fruits burst open when they mature. The force of bursting is enough to
spread the seeds. Examples; Ladyfinger, castor, balsam, etc.
Dispersal by Humans: Human beings also help in dispersal of seeds, especially during farming.
