Seed Travel

We like to think only humans use rockets, helicopters, parachutes, and gliders, but that's not true. Other travelers used such methods long before we did. These travelers are seeds! But why would a seed need to travel?

Seeds need to get away from their parent plants. If they remain too close, young plants starve. Their bigger, stronger parents overshadow them, hogging sunlight and water. It's also a seed's job to claim new living space for its species.

Have you ever watched a toy rocket take off with a small explosion? The Mediterranean spur cucumber behaves like a rocket—without the little cucumber fills with juice until it's bursts off its stalk. A trail of slime follows the seeds.

Plants with pods launch their seeds using another kind of explosion. When broom seeds are ready, the sun warms one side of the pod and dries it. The other side remains in shadow and dries more slowly. The sides pull against each other until the pod splits, hurling the seeds away from the parent plant. A Brazilian tree called the monkey's dinner bell does the same. It pops so loudly, strangers think they are under attack. The seeds can travel 40 feet, so it's best not to be in the way.

Many seeds use parachutes. Think of dandelion puffs—they contain hundreds of tiny seeds, each with its own silky parachute for riding the wind. Milkweed seeds come in pods instead of blowballs. If you open a ripe milkweed pod, you will see a packaging miracle. Hundreds of seed heads overlap neatly, while their closed parachutes lie flat, resembling hair.>> Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

Other seeds have evolved to travel by water. The coconut is a classic example of a sea-faring seed. Its large, hard shell protects the inner seed from salt water during long voyages across oceans. The fibrous, air-filled husk allows it to float for great distances until it washes ashore on a distant beach, ready to germinate. Similarly, the seeds of mangrove trees actually begin to germinate while still attached to the parent plant. These seedlings, known as propagules, eventually drop off and can float horizontally on water currents before settling in muddy shores to take root.

Animals are also crucial partners in seed dispersal. Some seeds, like those of the burdock plant, are equipped with tiny hooks that cling to animal fur or human clothing, hitching a free ride to a new location. Other plants produce fleshy, nutritious fruits that entice animals to eat them. The seeds inside these fruits are designed to pass unharmed through the animal's digestive system and are deposited far from the parent plant with their own packet of fertilizer. Birds, mammals, and even ants all play a vital role in this form of seed travel, ensuring that plants can colonize new and diverse habitats.
