Water dispersal

Water dispersal is the process by which seeds or spores spread through water, allowing plants to colonize new areas. When a plant produces lightweight, buoyant seeds or spores, they can float with the current or be moved by waves, streams, or rain. This method of dispersal helps plants reach distant, water-connected habitats, reducing competition and increasing their chances of survival. Water dispersal is common in aquatic plants and species living near water bodies, and it plays a vital role in the distribution and ecological success of many plant species.
