The Seed Dispersal Theory

The Seed Dispersal Theory explains how plants spread their seeds to grow in new areas. Many plants rely on animals, wind, water, or other methods to carry their seeds away from the parent plant. Dispersing seeds helps reduce competition for resources and increases the chances of survival. For example, animals might eat fruits and later drop the seeds elsewhere, or seeds might be carried by the wind or float on water. Effective seed dispersal ensures plants can colonize new spaces, maintain genetic diversity, and thrive across different environments.
