Plants disperse their seeds through various methods such as wind, water, animals, and explosive mechanisms. Wind-dispersed seeds have adaptations like wings or hairs that help them float through the air. Water-dispersed seeds can float on water to reach new locations. Animal-dispersed seeds may have hooks, spines, or tasty fruits to entice animals to carry them away from the parent plant. Some plants have explosive seed pods that burst open to scatter seeds over a wide area. These methods help plants spread their seeds to new areas for successful reproduction.
