Seed Dispersal


Definition: the transport of movement of seeds away from the parent plant; seed dispersal relies on biotic(living)  and abiotic(non-living) factors , because of this the mobility of the seeds released by the parent plant is limited. 

Connection: In the picture you see cotton like material attached to a small brown seed. This particular plant reproduces by wind seed dispersal and heavily relies on the wind (an abiotic factor) to reproduce.
