The seeds (burrs) of the Burdock are covered in hooks which catch onto the clothes of humans, or the fur of animals that brush against the ripe burrs. Eventually, the seeds, clustered in the burrs, shake loose and are spread over a wide area. Incidentally, it was this hook and cloth process that led to the Velcro fastening system, much used today.
