look at it, look at the fruit, look at the mother plant. now think.Seeds are carried in the air and land far away from the parent plant.Seeds are carried in water and land on shores further away.Seeds are dispersed by gravity near the parent plant. These seeds may sometimes be forced out from the pods and thus land a bit further away.Seeds are carried by animals who have eaten the fruit, which eventually is dispersed through the animals' faeces.
To get better opportunities for growth and development
Because they want to
Dandelions disperse their seeds using the wind. The wind can blow the seed miles away from its parent. Therefore the new dandelion will not have to compete with the parent plant for space or water.
Seeds can move away from plants in different ways: -get carried by the wind (dendelion) -get eaten by birds and then come out in another location in their poop (berries) -attach themselves to clothes or fur (green prickly fruits) -get carried away by water.
By the wind
To have a better place for sunshine and growth the seeds travel away from its parent plant. This also ensures its geographic distribution.

"to move away from the source - away from the parent plant"
Usually in Autumn, around October time or so, that's when we usually pick the apples and my friends do harvest. XxCazxX

Soil can be carried away from it's parent rock by wind, water, ice or gravity.
Glucose carried away in vascular tissue called phloem.
Spores released by the parent can be carried by the wind.
