Not all plants are seed-bearing plants, but today, the most dominant plants reproduce through seeds making seed dispersal necessary for sustaining plant life. Seeds are dispersed, through wind, water, and animals, far from the parent plant so that the offspring does not have to compete with the parent for light, water, and nutrients. Explore a collection of diverse seeds alongside a selection of mounts illustrating the growth and development of plants.
