Red maple tree seeds are dispersed by the wind during spring and summer time that are found in fields, woods, and wetlands.

Explanation:

Red maple tree is the most common wide spread deciduous tree that are mainly found in eastern and central North America. This tree mainly grows in dry soil, in swamp region. This tree is the state tree of Rhode island.

This plant require different mechanism of dispersion that allows their seed to disperse from one place to another.

Seed dispersal prevents parent plant from having to share resources like water, nutrient, light etc.

Seed dispersion of red maple tree allows it to receive light for growth after germination.
