Answer 10

can you help me with one more question?

Answer 11

Dandelion seeds are blown around by the wind, birds and other animals eat various fruits and vegetables and drop the seeds in their feces, runoff from rainfall and the like will carry light seeds over the ground. Some animals also collect seeds as food and lose their caches (squirrels with acorns, for example). Some plants rely on external factors to put their seeds in more favorable conditions, such as some pines that need fire to get the cones to open and release the seed, now in a more favorable growing area because the fire that released it also cleared away competing vegetation.
