Put on your thinking cap...! If the seeds were not dispersed, they would not germinate and there would be no more baby plants to grow up to be mommies and daddies.
Seed dispersal is vital for continuity of the species (meaning- so it won't become extinct!Why is it important for a parent plant to disperse its seeds?
The reproductory process allows the seedlings to carry on the same traits of the mother plant and ensure the survival of the species. Some plants such as the Cesalpinia (Pride of Barbados) will release its seeds with such a force as to throw the seeds away from the mother plant so as not to be shaded by the parent. This way ample sunlight can germinate the seeds and ensure the survival mechanism.Why is it important for a parent plant to disperse its seeds?
