Question

what do you understand by the term dispersal of seed what is the significance also mention the way by which seed dispersal with suitable examples

Answer 1

Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants have very limited mobility and consequently rely upon a variety of dispersal vectors to transport their propagules, including both abiotic and biotic vectors. Seeds can be dispersed away from the parent plant individually or collectively, as well as dispersed in both space and time. The patterns of seed dispersal are determined in large part by the dispersal mechanism and this has important implications for the demographic and genetic structure of plant populations, as well as migration patterns and species interactions. There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus.

Answer 2

the term in which seeds are being scattered by some natural or by some humans. for example -dispersal of seeds by water,by insects and small animals,by wind and many other things
