Seeds can be dispersed by wind, an example of this is: dandelion seeds being blown in the wind.

Seeds can also be dispersed by animals, whenever they excrete or bury them. An example of this is: A squirrel burying acorns for winter.

A plant would benefit from the dispersal of their seeds so that, more of the same plants grow throughout different places.
