Today's learning points!

We learned about seeds dispersal.

Seeds disperse in order to prevent overcrowding and competing with parent plants for survival.

Overcrowding plants will be tall and thin. On the other hand, if a seed is given enough space to grow, it will have thick stems.

There are 4 methods of seed dispersal.
1. By wind [e.g Angsana, Lalang]
2. By water [e.g Coconut, Mangrove]
3. By animals [e.g Mango, Mimosa]
4. By themselves (Explosion or splitting) [e.g Sunflower, Peas]
