Seed dispersal refers to the movement or transport of seeds from their parent plant to new locations. This process is vital for ensuring that seeds have the opportunity to germinate and grow in environments that may offer better conditions for their development. Seed dispersal can occur through various means, including natural forces such as wind and water, as well as biological agents like animals. By spreading seeds away from the parent plant, dispersal helps reduce competition, promotes plant diversity, and facilitates the establishment of new plant populations.
