Seed dispersal is essential for the survival of plants

SOLUTION

Seed dispersal is the movement of seeds away from the mother plant for germination. This avoids competition of the seeds with the mother plant for air, water and minerals. Hence, seed dispersal is essential for the plant survival. It takes place by wind (e.g. dandelion), water (e.g. lotus), birds and animals (e.g. nuts) and human beings (e.g. sugarcane).
