Question

Why is it important for plants to scatter or disperse their seeds?

• A. To avoid overcrowding which results in unhealthy plants
• B. To prevent the seeds from becoming parasites to the parent plants
• C. To ensure that plants get spread to new places
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and C

Scattering or dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plants If plants grow too closely together, they will not get proper nutrients and water from the soil. Overcrowding will also restrict the availability of light and lead to poor growth. If seeds are scattered in a big area, each plant will get ample space to grow properly. Scattering also helps in the distribution of seeds to faraway places,

So the correct answer is option D.
