How Plants Travel Coloring Page for Preschoolers
Plant seeds can travel in many different ways: by humans, animals, or the wind.
Wind Dispersal
Dandelion seeds float away in the wind. To make sure that at least some of the seeds land in a suitable growing place, the plant has to produce lots of seeds.
Water Dispersal
Many plants have seeds that use water as a means of dispersal. The seeds float away from the parent plant.
Animal Dispersal
Most plants that have fleshy fruit are eaten by birds, which help to weaken the tough coats around these seeds. Birds often fly far away from the parent plant and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Humans can also spread seeds if they get stuck to our clothing or shoes – and if we throw fruit pips and stones out of the car window!
Explosions
Some plants, like peas, gorse, and flax, have seed pods that dry out once the seeds are ripe. When dry, the pods split open and the seeds scatter.
Fire
Plants cannot run away from a fire, so some plants have developed a way to help their seeds survive. There are some species of pine tree that require the heat from a fire before their cones will open and release seeds.
