Question

“A bunch of seedlings were seen sprouting on a heap of animal dropping in a forest.” How do you think the seedling benefited from the animal dung?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Seeds sprout or germinate only in the presence of moisture. Seeds present on animal dung germinated because they received adequate moisture from animal dung. Further growth of seedlings is supported by the nutrients provided by the animal dung.
