Question:medium

Which one of the following terminology does NOT represent the seed dispersal mechanism in crops/plants ?

Show Hint

All valid scientific terms for seed dispersal end with the suffix "-chory" (from Greek *khoreia* meaning dance/spread) combined with the agent:
- *Auto-* (self) $\rightarrow$ Autochory.
- *Hydro-* (water) $\rightarrow$ Hydrochory.
- *Zoo-* (animal) $\rightarrow$ Zoochory.
- *Anemo-* (wind) $\rightarrow$ Anemochory.
"Zerochory" is a fabricated distractor.
