Seed dispersal is the process by which seeds are transported from their parent plant to new locations where they can germinate and grow. This movement can occur through various mechanisms, including wind, water, animals, and mechanical means. By dispersing seeds away from the parent plant, seed dispersal helps reduce competition, promotes plant colonization of new areas, and supports the establishment of new plant populations. It is a critical ecological process that contributes to plant reproduction and the maintenance of biodiversity.
