Plants reproduce through a process called pollination, where pollen from the male part of the flower (stamen) is transferred to the female part (pistil) of the same or another flower. This can happen through wind, insects, birds, or other animals. Once fertilization occurs, seeds are formed.

Plants disperse their seeds through various methods, including wind dispersal, animal dispersal (by attaching to fur or being ingested), water dispersal, and self-dispersal mechanisms such as exploding seed pods or seed dispersal by gravity. These methods help seeds to spread and grow in different areas, increasing plant diversity and survival.
