Vivipary, or germination while still attached to the parent plant, is usually a disadvantage as it can lead to competition for resources and space with the parent plant. However, in some habitats such as mangroves, vivipary allows the seedling to develop roots before being dispersed, increasing the chances of survival in the harsh environment.
