Answer: Seed dispersal
When a windstorm transports a few seeds of a plant species from island a to another, it is called seed dispersal
Explanation:
The seeds of plant requires several agents to move them from their surrounding to other areas. These agents include:
- wind
Gentle breeze or more violent ones help move light seeds to new areas
- water
The seeds and fruits of coconut are known to be carried by water bodies such as ocean, rivers etc. As a result, coconut trees are abundant along the shore of many islands.
- animals such as insects or even bigger animals.
Seeds dispersed by animals do possess hairs or hooks that help them stick to the body parts of animals who then move to various areas in search of food, mate or shelter.
