Fruits and Seeds

• Plants need to spread their seeds away from themselves.


• We call this seed dispersal.
• Seed dispersal happens when a fruit is ripe.
• The seeds are ready to grow into new plants.
• Seeds grow into young plants called seedlings.
• Seedlings need room to grow.
• They also need light and water.
Plants are adapted to disperse their seeds in different ways:
1. By animals
2. By wind
3. By water
4. By explosion
