Answer 1

If all the seeds produced by a plant falls and sprouts in the same place, the two problems the new plants would face will be:

• A large number of plants growing in the same place have access to a limited quantity of important resources like minerals and water for survival.
• Plants require enough space and an ample amount of groundwater for growth and germination.
• There will be a scarcity of space for the growth of the lateral roots.
• The growth and development of the new plant would be hampered because of the competition it will face for nutrition, water, and sunlight, with the existing plants.
