What are the seeds that scatter by bursting?

Seeds that scatter by bursting are known as explosive or dehiscent seeds. These seeds are contained in pods or fruits that dry out and split open suddenly when mature, releasing the seeds away from the parent plant. Examples include plants like the pea (Pisum sativum) and the touch-me-not (Impatiens), which utilize this mechanism to enhance seed dispersal and reduce competition with the parent plant. This method of dispersal can help the seeds find new habitats for germination.
