Plants that grow in or near water release the seeds into the water which then floats out to sea to distant locations.

Seeds float on the sea until it gets washed up shore, which it will grow into a plant

Seeds that are dispersed by water usually have fibrous husks and have the ability to float. They are carried by the water and start to grow on lands that they are washed up on. Some examples of fruits that are dispersed by water are water lily and coconut palm.

Some plants disperse their seeds by releasing them into the water.

These seeds are waterproof,and can have fluff or other structures to increase their buoyancy. In the special case of coconuts, their waterproof wooden casings allow them to be transported extremely long distances in saltwater.

They are light to float and the seeds myst be waterproof and strong too

Fruits like coconut,pong pong, mangrove disperse by water. They are grown near the sea. Oce it is ripe, it will drop into the sea. They have a fibrous husk that trap air, enabling it to float on water and they can be carried to long distances. They also have a waterproof covering

Some fruits disperse their seeds by water. They must be light and waterproof. They have hairy covers that increase their buoyancy.

Many water plants rely more on vegetative reproduction than on seeds for dispersal. In vegetative reproduction fragments of plants, or specialised structures may be carried away by water currents to grow elsewhere. This kind of reproduction is asexual. Canadian Pond Weed introduced into Britain has spread entirely this way. All known populations in Europe are solely female. However, seeds are still important for dispersal in other water plants. Plants which produce their flowers well above the water level often have seeds that will float and are dispersed by water. However not all plants which grow above the water have water dispersed seeds.
Plants such as Pond Iris grow in or near freshwater. The seed pods break open when they ripen. Those which fall into the water float away. The seeds may be dispersed long distances in this way. They can either germinate in the water or when they become stranded on mud.

Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float on water and also allow them to travel for long distances. Some examples of fruits that are dispersed by water are coconuts and mangroves are well known for their ability to float on water to reach land where they can germinate.

Trees found on tropical beaches often have their seeds carried there by the sea. They have woody, waterproof coverings which enable them to float in the salty water for long periods. Coconuts are well-known travellers, as is the famous Coco-de-mer, found only on the Seychelles, but familiar before its origin was known from the giant seeds washed up on other tropical beaches
