Dispersal<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li><strong>By Wind<\/strong>: Seeds like dandelion have lightweight structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By Water<\/strong>: Coconut seeds float.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By Animals<\/strong>: Juicy fruits attract animals; seeds are dispersed after consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By
