Why do plants make seeds and  fruits?

Why do plants make seeds and  fruits?

• To reproduce (voortplanten) 

Some fruits and seeds are edible

How are the seeds dispersed (verspreid)?

Dispersal of fruits and seeds

• Plants disperse the seeds themselves by ejecting the seeds over a distance 
• Seeds are dispersed by wind
• Seeds are dispersed by animals and humans 

In the video you saw an example of seed dispersal by

1. the wind
2. the plant itself
3. animals

Which mechanism for dispersal is used by the seed shown in the picture?
