Question

Moringa seeds are dispersed by wind as they possess

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The fruits, having three sided brown capsule containing dark brown seeds, of Moringa tree are hanging. The seeds have three white “wings” developed from the testa which renders buoyancy to them. With the wind blowing, the papery white wings act like helicopter propellers, taking the seeds far off places from the mother tree and desposing them elsewhere.


Regards.
