Seed dispersal is when a flower drops its seeds and makes more of themselves.  The seeds are spread by wind, by the animals that pass.  The seeds stick to the animals coat of fur then it drops of.  The animals that eat fruit  will eat the seeds which will pass through their body  and then it will come out the other side with their waste.

These pictures are showing dandelions and dandelion seeds. Dandelion seeds are spread by the wind. The insects pollinates the dandelion flower and turns it into seeds.

The marsh marigold seeds spread when the pod explodes. This plant grows in boggy areas. This plant has yellow flowers and is pollinated by insects.

Goose grass spreads its seeds by sticking to things, e.g. animals and clothes. The goose grass also spreads its seeds by people rubbing their body up it.  Goose grass is very sticky.  We only found it growing in the tall habitat
