Plants in the wild have many different ways of scattering their seeds, this is called ‘dispersal’. The wind disperses lots of seeds that are light or can catch the breeze. But only some find a ...

Each seed is attached to the calyx of its flower, which helps it float in water or attach to animal fur for dispersal. A single plant can produce thousands of seeds, each containing a chemical that ...
