Seeds disperse in nature through various mechanisms such as wind, water, animals, and gravity. Wind-dispersed seeds have adaptations like wings, hairs, or parachutes to be carried by the wind. Water-dispersed seeds can float and be carried to new locations by water currents. Animals help disperse seeds by eating the fruit and then excreting the seeds away from the parent plant. Some seeds rely on gravity to fall to the ground and germinate near the parent plant.
