Next 2. Information Sources 1 2 3 4 5 6 When plants spread their seeds it’s called Seed Dispersal. How do seeds travel? Seeds are spread in many ways. Some are carried on the wind or by water. Sometimes a seed reaches the ground when fruit falls off the tree and breaks open. Other times, birds or other animals eat the fruit, and the seed passes through the animal's body and ends up on the ground. (from World Book Kids Online) Click here to read more about seed dispersal.
