Why did the plymouth colony become part of the massachusetts bay colony? it needed to form an alliance against the local indians. it wanted to increase its surplus production of crops. it was much smaller and lacked a binding charter. it hoped to strengthen its resistance to the church of england.

The correct answer is
It was much smaller and lacked a binding charter.

King James wanted to break the Puritan rule in the New England area so they revoked the charter and made the entire area into one big dominion. When he was changed, the dominion ended and the colonies were reestablished, but Plymouth was too weak and small to get its own independent charter so it remained a part of Massachusetts.
