Some seeds are spread by animals' feet. Charles Darwin once grew 80 plants from the mud he scraped off a bird's foot.A seed has everything it needs to produce new plants. No seed can grow with the fruit around it. A seed has to have enough water, good soil, and sunlight. Sometimes people plant them and other times the seeds get planted on their own. People also put seeds in gardens or fields, and water and fertilize the seeds.
Birds help some fruits like the cherry by eating the fruit around the seed. The mistletoe's seeds are covered with a sticky substance that sticks to the bird that tries to eat it. The mistletoe's seeds have to land on the tree or they die.
Some seeds travel by sailing in the wind. Others float in the water to get to the land. Others hitchike on animals. Some just get blown in the wind. Seeds can also grow in a flower and drop to the ground. When the seed leaves the flower or whatever it was in, it's called dissemination. This is one of the most important steps in the seed's life. Some tree seeds drop directly below the parent and die because there is not enough light or food for them to grow.
