Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of seed dispersal in plants?
  • Step 1: Understand that plants produce seeds to grow new plants.
  • Step 2: Realize that if all seeds fall close to the parent plant, they will compete for the same resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients.
  • Step 3: Learn that seed dispersal is the process of spreading seeds away from the parent plant.
  • Step 4: Know that by spreading seeds over a wider area, seedlings have a better chance to grow without competing too much with each other.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the primary purpose of seed dispersal is to reduce competition among seedlings.
