It does not require anything to help it--it can disperse its seeds by itself.
If the animal ingests the seed then in the feces the seed has a fertilizer to start life with. Seeds ingested or stuck to animal hair can be dispersed long distances from the plant which increases the range and survivability of the plant.
There are following advantages and disadvantages of seed disparsal.
1)First, seed survival is often higher away from the parent plant.
2)This higher survival may result from the actions of density-dependent seed and seedling predators and pathogens, which often target the high concentrations of seeds beneath adults.
Seed dispersal from wind is considered to be an indirect way in which plants procreate. One of the benefits of seed dispersal from wind is that no other action is required for the plant to spread.
further distance traveled by the seeds, avoid inbred-depression. expand gene pool
A disadvantage to animals dispersing seeds is that the seeds may not end up in a place where they will be able to grow. Also, the animal may not always spread the seeds evenly.
it benefits by this when the animal eats a seed, it carries it inside its body until it needs to use the bathroom. the seed then leaves the animal's body by means of waste (aka poop) and where the seed lands, it will grow. of course, it can only grow if conditions are favorable.
They explode and the seeds go into different areas. What also happens is that the seeds also have little wing like tips that leave them then allowing the seed to drop. from there germination begins from a ten year old mariojackman
There are lots of different ways seeds disperse such as: seed get stuck to animals and the animal carry them. also they can be transported by wind and water However most types of beans disperse by self-dispersal. The pod "explode" and the beans fly out.
The advantage of animal power is that animals are much stronger than man. The disadvantage is that they require care like feeding and veterinary care that can be expensive.
A blackberry's main dispersal - is by animals and birds. The plant surrounds its seeds in a tasty 'flesh'. This encourages animals and birds to eat the berries. The seeds simply pass though the digestive system and are expelled along with a 'dollop' of fertiliser.
Explosive splitting enables the seed to be dispersed only around the parent plant, and not as far as other methods of dispersal, such as animal dispersal, of which the seeds can be dispersed for as many as a few kilometers.
There are 5 main methods of seed dispersal. They are;- Wind dispersal- Gravity dispersal- Water dispersal- Animal dispersal (including humans!)- force dispersal

There are five methods of seed dispersal.The first one is human dispersal, when human beings harvest the plant, take the seed out from the fruit, and plant it in another plot of land (like tomatoes, cucumbers, etc...). Water dispersal is when the fruit falls in the water and is light enough to float for at least a few seconds (like coconuts, water lilies, etc...). Animal dispersal is when an animal gets the fruit stuck in its hair or fur and scratches it off after a few minutes or eats the fruit and the seed emerges from its droppings (like burrs, mistletoe, etc...). Wind dispersal happens when the fruit is light enough to glide with the wind for at least a few seconds (like schizocarps, samaras, etc...), and mechanical dispersal is when the seed(s) are dispersed in a way like a slingshot (like peas, forget-me-nots, etc...).

It is called Dispersal
parts of a fruit that attach to an animal's fur for dispersal
Seed dispersal is the dispersal of embryo generally
