Question

why is it necessary for seeds to be dispersed away from the parent plant ?

Answer 1

If the seeds only fell around the parent plant and germinated there, it would create overcrowded conditions. There would be too many plants competing for sunlight, and too many would die.yes many would die By the seeds dispersing further away from the plant, more stand a higher chance of survival.

Answer 2

This is important because if the seeds are not dispersed many germinating seedlings will grow very close to their parent plant .This result in competition  between everyone  of the seedlings  as well as parent plant . The competition is for light ,space ,water and nutrients .
