The document discusses the four main types of seed dispersal: water, animal, explosion, and wind. Seeds need to be dispersed to survive and grow in suitable environments with enough water, light, and temperature. Seeds dispersed by wind are very light with feathers, like dandelions. Seeds dispersed by water have fruit covering and grow near bodies of water, like coconuts on beaches. Seeds dispersed by explosion shoot out of pods, like sweet peas, traveling a few feet. Animals disperse seeds by getting caught in fur, inside eaten fruits, or being buried for later by squirrels and acorns.
