Typically, seeds are blown by the wind (corn and dandelions, for example) or by having burrs or stickers that cling to the fur of passing animals. Some seeds are carried by birds, or other animals to new locations.

How are seeds of a sycamore tree dispersed?

They are carried away by wind.


What is the method of dispersal of cotton plant and rain tree?

Cotton plant disperses its seeds through wind and animals. The seed pods burst open to release the cotton fibers and seeds, which are then carried away by the wind or by animals that eat the seeds. Rain tree disperses its seeds through explosive dehiscence, where the seed pods burst open forcefully, ejecting the seeds away from the parent plant.

How do ipil-ipil seeds disperse?

Ipil-ipil seeds are dispersed from the parent tree by wind. The pods of the ipil-ipil tree split open when they are mature, releasing the seeds which are then carried away by the wind to new locations for germination.


How does a sycamore disperse?

When the seed breaks from the sycamore tree, its 'wing' makes it spin, but also makes its decent slower. This means that it can move further away from its parent tree when it falls, especially if there is a breeze or some wind.

How does the carapa plant disperse its seeds?

The carapa plant disperses its seeds through gravity. The tree produces fruits containing seeds that fall to the ground when ripe. Some seeds may also be dispersed by animals that eat the fruit and later excrete the seeds away from the parent plant.


Why is a African tulip dispersed by splitting and carried away by wind?

The African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata) disperses its seeds through a mechanism called ballistic dispersal, where the seed pods split open explosively when they dry out. This splitting releases the seeds into the air, allowing them to be carried away by the wind to new locations. This adaptation increases the likelihood of colonization in various environments, enhancing the tree's spread and survival. Wind dispersal also helps reduce competition with the parent plant.


How sycamore seeds are dispersed?

How is the kapok dispersed?

Kapok seeds are dispersed by wind as they have fluffy fibers that help them float away from the parent tree. These fibers are buoyant and allow the seeds to be carried long distances by wind to new germination sites.


How do propeller seeds from a tree help in dispersing its seeds?

Propeller seeds from a tree help in dispersing its seeds by spinning as they fall, allowing them to be carried by the wind to new locations where they can grow into new trees.
