To ensure the continuity and survival of its own species.

To ensure that off-spring do not compete with the parents for resources (sunlight, water and minerals)

Off-springs do not compete with the parents for food as every plant can make its own food so they are not competing for food...

This is how plants reproduce and because they are rooted in one place for their entire life they must disperse their seed to take root somewhere else

What types of seed dispersal are there?

There are several types of seed dispersal, including wind dispersal, where seeds are carried away by the wind; water dispersal, where seeds float and are transported by water; animal dispersal, where seeds are eaten and later excreted by animals or carried on their fur; and explosive dispersal, where seeds are ejected from the fruit when it bursts open. Each method helps ensure that seeds spread to suitable environments for germination and growth.


What method of dispersal is used by thistle and ash and maple seeds?

Thistle seeds use wind dispersal, with their small, feathery structures allowing them to be carried by the wind. Ash and maple seeds use a method called helicopter or autorotation dispersal, where their wing-like structures allow them to spin and glide through the air.


What is the most effective dispersal method of seeds?

There is no one method of propagating seeds as all seeds are different and require different techiques. Such as some require to be soaked in sulfuric acid. and others need to be soaked in just water for a few hours to a day.WeaK


How do seeds transfer?

Seeds can be transferred through various methods, including wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal mechanisms. Wind dispersal involves seeds being carried by the wind, water dispersal occurs when seeds float in water to new locations, animal dispersal happens when seeds are ingested by animals and deposited elsewhere, and self-dispersal mechanisms include seed pods that burst open to release seeds or seeds that are propelled away by the plant itself.


What happens if you blow a dandalion and you count how many seeds are left on it?

By blowing a dandelion, you scatter the seeds into the air for dispersal. It's unlikely that you would be able to accurately count the number of seeds remaining on the dandelion after blowing on it. The purpose of the dandelion's seed dispersal method is to ensure the spread of its seeds for reproduction.

What are four types of dispersal?

Four types of dispersal include wind dispersal, where seeds or spores are carried by the wind; water dispersal, where organisms or their seeds are transported by water currents; animal dispersal, where animals carry seeds or organisms on their fur or through ingestion; and ballistic dispersal, where seeds are ejected from the parent plant forcefully. Each method plays a crucial role in the distribution and colonization of species in various ecosystems.

Because plants need to breath?
