There are several ways that animals help plants to reproduce. Bees help plants
to reproduce because they fly from flower to flower and pollinate them.
When fruit falls from the tree and lands in a place with lots of light, water and
good soil, it grows into a new plant. However, not all the fruit falls in a good
place to grow. Some fruit falls in shady areas, where there is little sunlight,
and others fall on rocks. However, animals help these fruits to grow too.
Fruits taste good, so animals such as birds eat them. The seeds of the fruit
survive inside the animal and are eventually expelled, far away from the
parent tree. Sometimes the new place has more favourable conditions than
the previous one.
