To avoid growing seeds close to each other plants take help of some agents like wind, water, animals to scatter their seeds. These agents carry the seeds from the parent plant to far places. This process in which the seeds are scattered from one place to other is called dispersal.

Match the following. Column A Column B 1. Sycamore (a) Dispersal by animal 2. Squirting cucumber (b) Kharif crop 3. Dahlia (c) Rabi crop 4. Bryophyllum (d) Dispersal by wind 5. Mango (e) Reproduction from roots 6. Gram (f) Dispersal by explosion 7. Maize (g) Reproduction from leaves

1 . Sycamore (d) Dispersal by wind Sycamore is a seed that is dispersed by wind. These seeds have wings or hair-like structure that easily helps them to get dispersed by air or wind. 2 . Squirting cucumber (f) Dispersal by explosion Squirting cucumber is an example of dispersal by the explosion. The seeds of the plants get burst and spread from the parent plant. 3 . Dahlia (e) Reproduction from roots Dahlia is an example of a plant that are reproduced from roots. Reproduction can take place even in other parts of the plants like leaves, root and stem. 4 . Bryophyllum (g) Reproduction from leaves Bryophyllum is a plant that is reproduced from leaves. Not only seeds other parts of plants can also help in reproduction. 5 . Mango (a) Dispersal by animals Mango is a flesh fruit whose seeds are dispersed by animals and humans. 6 . Gram (c) Rabi crop Gram and wheat are examples of the Rabi crop. 7 . Maize (b) Kharif crop Maize and rice are an example of Kharif crops. Match the following. Column A Column B 1 . Sycamore (d) Dispersal by wind 2 . Squirting cucumber (f) Dispersal by explosion 3 . Dahlia (e) Reproduction from roots 4 . Bryophyllum (g) Reproduction from leaves 5 . Mango (a) Dispersal by animals 6 . Gram (c) Rabi crop 7 . Maize (b) Kharif crop
