What are abiotic nutrients and what is an abiotic component of an ecosystem which helps the seed to disperse?
Abiotic nutrients are nutrients in the soil and nothing will be able to grow without them as they are vital. Examples: C, N, P, H, Fe.
The abiotic components that help seeds disperse are water and wind, but I also think that temperature may also be involved because the wind more easily blows dry seeds.

Light, air, soil, and nutrients, etc. form the abiotic components of an ecosystem. The abiotic factors vary from ecosystem to ecosystem. In an aquatic ecosystem, the abiotic factors may include water pH, sunlight, turbidity, water depth, salinity, available nutrients and dissolved oxygen. The non-living part of the ecosystem is called the abiotic component. This includes physical environments like soil, water, or air. Other includes inorganic compounds, organic compounds or physical factors like temperature. Abiotic components include physical conditions and non-living resources that affect living organisms in terms of growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Resources are distinguished as substances or objects in the environment required by one organism and consumed or otherwise made unavailable for use by other organisms. A terrestrial ecosystem consists of abiotic factors like climate, type of soil or rock, altitude, temperature, nutrients, and minerals, whereas abiotic components in an aquatic ecosystem include dissolved gases, depth of water, salinity, pH of water, light intensity etc.
