Plant disperse their seed and fruit by scattering them far away from the parent plants. The advantages of dispersal:
- reduce overcrowding
- reduce competition between the parent plant and the young plant
- enables seed to grow healthily
- provides opportunities to spread the species to new places
Some plants disperse their fruit that contain seeds while others disperse the seeds themselves. The seeds and fruits of plants have special characteristics which help the agent to disperse them. Seeds and fruits can be disperse by:
-
Water
-
Wind
-
Animals
-
An explosive mechanism
Example of fruit/seed dispersed by water: Coconut
Example of seed/fruit dispered by wind: Daisy 'Vittadinia sulcata'
Example of fruit/seed dispersed by animal: Strawberry (Isn't it cute?)
Example of fruit/seed dispersed by an explosive mechanism: Okra
Cats in my neighbourhood

Cats are really fun, full of surprises and laughter,
I hope that they would have me as their friend until forever,
And when the rain comes pouring down, splashing on the kitties,
I wish they would run and play in between my knees,
Kittens are so sweet especially when they have fun together,
They play ‘chase’ and even try to tag one another,
But when it is time to pray or time to go to bed,
Their mama’s friend shall ‘meow’ to them and off they go to bed.
This poem is written by my big sister, Kaman.
