Answer:

Wind-dispersed fruit are lightweight and may have wing-like appendages that allow them to be carried by the wind. Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float. Coconuts are well known for their ability to float on water to reach land where they can germinate.
