Sticktight seeds have small barbs or hooks that easily attach to the fur or feathers of passing animals. These barbs help the seeds to be carried away from the parent plant when animals brush against them.
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.

Nipa palm seeds are dispersed through water, as they float and are carried by currents. The fruit of the nipa palm is also eaten by animals, which can help in dispersing the seeds further away from the parent plant.
Seed-disperal is a process by which seeds are spead or scattered over a wide area. Seeds falling beneath the parent plant face the disadvantage of: a)getting little light within plant's shade. b)competition with parent plant for water and nutrients. c)crowed conditions, leading to poor growth.
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.
Most seeds ripen and are carried away from the parent plant during the autumn season. This is when many plants go through seed dispersal to ensure that the seeds can germinate in new locations and have the best chance of survival.
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"
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.
