A Correct answer
Explanation

Ants are important seed dispersers for many plant species, including violets and other wildflowers. This relationship is called myrmecochory. Plants produce seeds with nutrient-rich attachments called elaiosomes that attract ants. Ants carry these seeds to their nests, eat the elaiosomes, and discard the intact seeds in nutrient-rich areas, effectively planting them.
