what are the 5 types of seed dispersal?
Answered
The five types of seed dispersal are: 1. Wind Dispersal: Seeds are carried by the wind, often with adaptations like wings or parachute-like structures to aid in travel. 2. Animal Dispersal: Seeds are transported by animals, either by consumption and excretion, attachment to fur or feathers, or caching. 3. Water Dispersal: Seeds float on water and are carried to new locations by rivers, streams, or ocean currents. 4. Mechanical Dispersal: Seeds are ejected from the parent plant through mechanisms such as bursting or snapping. 5. Ballistic Dispersal: Seeds are propelled away from the plant by sudden mechanical force, such as the explosive release of tension. Each type of dispersal method helps plants reach new areas and enhance their reproductive success.
