Why do seeds need to be dispersed?
Seed dispersal can occur in many forms: -by wind -by water -by animals -by explosive mechanism By growing away from the parent plants, seedling face less competition in terms of water, nutrients and sunlight. Avoiding diseases is not a reason for seeds to be dispersed away from the parent plants. Food for the seedlings is provided by the seed leaves. Different locations do not necessarily decrease the chance of being eaten by plant-eaters.
Why do seeds need to be dispersed away from the parents?
Plants need soil and sunlight, and more of these resources are available if the plants are dispersed over a wide area. If they are all growing close together, they have to compete for a limited amount of soil and sunlight. There would be a severe competition for sunlight,water,minerals, and space. As a result the seeds would not grow into healthy plants.

What are seeds dispersed by?
Sheeps are one, they catch seeds, I forgot what they are called but-...now I remember, dandelions, as their (sheeps) fur scrape against the dandelions their seeds get hold onto it, until sometime it falls of and that's how it gets dispersed. That's all I know sheeps are a disperser as well as dogs although they do the same thing as sheeps (using their fur, as the seeds fall of by their selfs).
