Eli5:How do plants plant themselves exactly?

Like for say an apple tree. Yes the apple falls down the tree naturally but the seeds are inside the center of the apple itself. How exactly do the seeds go to the soil and fertilise to grow more trees?

Also- the apple on ground is going to rot and disintegrate… leaving the seed to germinate… but Lexx answer is more likely. Birds, squirrels, deer, all woodland animals are the primary sources of germinating new plants from pooping them out… fertilizer free.

Have you ever noticed when looking at fields that the separation tree lines are always along the fence posts? This is because a bird sat on that fence post, pooped out whatever she ate yesterday, and this is where the new tree or plant grows.
