It prefers full sun or partial shade. The hooked tips of the phyllaries that make up the involucre are an adaptation for seed dispersal. Animals that pass by a mature seed head often pick up and disperse the seeds as the hooked tips grasp onto the animal's fur, and later fall off spreading the seed to new locations.

∙ 10y agoBasically seeds have adaptations that ensure they are spread (normally away from the parent plant).
This is a survival mechanism in order to ensure that the species wont die out if conditions become unfavourable, this also helps to extend the range of the plant.
Seeds evolved various mechanisms in order to achieve this:
Burs to catch on the fur of animals, edible fruit to ensure the fruit and seeds are eaten by animals (and then excreted a distance away), wings in order to catch gentle breezes, some are buoyant and distributed by water and finally some are "explosively" hurled away from the parent plant.

Plant seed coats mycorrhizae and cuticles are examples of?
In plants cuticles prevent water loss, and seed coats protect the seed inside. Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations that form between the roots of most plant species and fungi. For example, Fungi helped early plants absorb nutrients from the hard, rocky soil. These are all examples of evolutionary adaptations of plants.
What adaptations allow seed plants to reproduce without open water?
Adaptions that allow seed plants to reproduce without open water include a reproductive process that takes place in cones or flowers, the transfer of sperm by pollination, and the protection of embryos in seeds.
