Verified by Experts

Advantages of seed dispersal:
Seeds escape from mortality near the parent plants due to predation by animals or getting diseases and also avoiding competition.
Dispersal also gives a chance to occupy favourable sites for growth.
It is an important process in the movement of plant genes particularly this is the only method available for self-fertilized flowers and maternally transmitted genes in outcrossing plants.
Seed dispersal by animals help in conservation of many species even in human altered ecosystems.
Understanding of fruits and seed dispersal acts as a key for proper functioning and establishment of many ecosyystems from deserts to evergreen forests and also for the maintenance of biodiversity conservation and restoration of ecosystems.
