Drift seeds are seeds that are naturally dispersed by ocean currents and are found drifting in the sea before eventually washing ashore. These seeds are adapted to survive long periods in saltwater, allowing them to float across vast distances before reaching land. Some well-known examples of drift seeds include those from plants like the oceanic coconut (Lodoicea maldivica), which can float for years before germinating on distant shores.
