Seeds are like the globe-trotters of the plant world, going on epic journeys without even having legs! This is called "seed dispersal," and it's crucial for plants to avoid family feuds over resources (aka competition) and to conquer new lands (spread the species).
🤔 Did you know?: Seed dispersal and pollination are like two episodes of a plant's love and adventure series. They're part of the plant's sexual life cycle but serve different roles!
Example: Exploding cucumber (Yes, it's a real thing!)
🎆 Boom!: The seed literally bursts out, kinda like fireworks but for plants.
Example: Berries
🐦 Yum Yum: Birds eat the berries and, uh, "deposit" the seeds elsewhere.
