Answer:

Seeds can be dispersed in the following ways:

  • Wind: Seeds with light weight and wing-like structures are dispersed by wind.

  • Water: Seeds of aquatic plants are dispersed by water currents.

  • Animals: Seeds can be dispersed by animals that eat fruits and excrete the seeds elsewhere.

  • Explosion: Some seeds are forcibly expelled from their pods and are scattered over a large area.

  • Gravity: Seeds that are heavy and fall directly to the ground are dispersed by gravity.

  • Biotic agents: Some seeds are dispersed by ants and other animals that carry them to their nests.
