Answer

Seed dispersal works through various mechanisms that move seeds away from the parent plant. Wind dispersal involves seeds being carried by the air, often aided by structures like wings or fluff. Animal dispersal can occur through ingestion and excretion, attachment to fur or feathers, or storage in caches. Water dispersal relies on seeds floating on water bodies and traveling to new locations. Mechanical and ballistic dispersal involve physical forces that eject seeds from the parent plant. Each mechanism plays a role in spreading seeds to new environments where they can germinate and grow.
