Question

In terms of motility, what is a primary characteristic of plants?
Options
A Plants are wind dispersed
B Plants are mobile
C Plants are water dispersed
D Plants are sedentary
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

While parts of plants (like pollen, seeds, or spores) can be dispersed by wind or water, the mature plant itself is typically rooted in one place and cannot move from one location to another, thus it is considered sedentary.

Hint

Consider whether a grown plant can relocate itself. Dispersal of reproductive structures is different from the movement of the whole organism.
