HOW SEEDS TRAVEL
- Seeds travel away from the mother plant in many ways.
- The wind often moves seeds great distances.
- Animal carriers also contribute to their relocation.
- Explosion is another way this mother plant releases the seeds or spores great distances.
- This enables plants to reproduce their species in other locations than the original environment.

HOW PLANTS ARE SUPPORTED
- Some plants do not have a very strong stem, so they develop tendrils which support them by winding around sticks or poles, or the stems of other plants.
- Other plants which do not have strong stems crawl along the ground.

ROOTS: ANOTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT
- This chart shows men holding the plant - anchoring it to the ground, so that when there is a strong wind, the plant is not pulled down.
