Answer 1

Beware, the answer provided below is completely correct, but is from PLATO so, if you're taking courses online, don't use it word by word.

Answer 2

The pressurized seeds and spores have the ability to spread, helping the organism reproduce. In plants, it allows them to reduce competition by flinging the seeds far away so that their offspring don’t compete for resources. For the fungus, it allows the parent to fling the spores into the grass so that when the horse eats them, the life cycle of the fungus continues.
