The process of seed dispersal is called dissemination. This process is extremely important for the seeds to be taken to other places, often far from the plant that originated them, and thus be able to colonize new environments. Dissemination can be carried out: by animals (including humans), by wind, water and by the plant itself (mechanical dissemination). When it finds a place with adequate temperature, humidity and light conditions, germination takes place, that is, the seed becomes a new plant. In the seed, there are specific structures that will give rise to the various organs of the future plant: the radicle (will give rise to the root of the plant), the caulicle (will become the stem of the plant), the bud or plumule (from which the first leaves of the plant). The cotyledons (contain food reserves, which the embryo needs) and the integument (protects the entire seed).
