Spines and hooks stick the seeds to an animal's coat as it brushes past. The seeds are then brushed off elsewhere. Examples of this include teasels and goose grass.
There are lots of different ways seeds disperse such as: seed get stuck to animals and the animal carry them. also they can be transported by wind and water However most types of beans disperse by self-dispersal. The pod "explode" and the beans fly out.
commensalism because one benefits and the other isn't harmed
The seeds (burrs) of the Burdock are covered in hooks which catch onto the clothes of humans, or the fur of animals that brush against the ripe burrs. Eventually, the seeds, clustered in the burrs, shake loose and are spread over a wide area. Incidentally, it was this hook and cloth process that led to the Velcro fastening system, much used today.
they can do it in two ways; 1) they eat the fruit and spit it out or it goes through their digestive system and is passed out eventually as part of the faeces. 2) they walk pass the plant and the fruit or seed hooks onto the animal and drops down later (just like Velcro)
Thw ancieny Egyptians used goats and pigs to trample seeds.
This is so the plants seeds can hook on to something like a humans clothes or an animals fur and get transported to another area where they can start to grow.
Beggar-tick seeds are dispersed by attaching to the fur of animals or clothing of people passing by. The seeds have tiny hooks that easily cling to surfaces, aiding in their dispersal to new locations.
Xanthium has hairy and seeds with hooks that get easily stuck in the fur and hide of animals and get dispersed far off places . They also get dispersed by wind . When climatic conditions are favourable , they burst open by the explosive mechanism and are transported far off places and germinate into new plants.
Amorseco seeds have tiny hooks on their surface that allow them to easily attach to fabrics like clothes. These hooks help the seeds to disperse and attach to passing animals or objects, aiding in their propagation.
because 1.for avoiding over crowding 2.to eliminate in competitons 3.so that seeds can grow in other places that need plants 4.for the continuation of plants and species life
They get dispersed by animals.
it is dispersed by animals
Burdock seeds are dispersed by animal fur. These burdock seeds have little hooks on them which allows them to "catch" onto the fur.

Love grass has seeds that have hooks to hook onto the fur, feathers, and hair of passing animals. The animals disperse them until they eventually fall off to spread in a different area.
It is dispersed by animals :D
