Explain the various modes of dispersal of seeds and fruits.​

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus. Dispersal involves the letting go or detachment of a diaspore from the main parent plant.

Fruits and seeds dispersal is the process whereby fruits and seeds are scattered from their origin. The various ways by which fruit and seed are dispersed are known as agents of seed and fruit dispersal.
