The dandelion 1st is a yellow flower.After about a day it turns into a sphere like flower that is white and fuzzy. The fuzzy white things are the "paraschutes" for the seed. The seeds are distributed by the seed letting go and the "parachute" helping it sail through the air until it lands. If you pick up one of these fuzzy dandelions and blow on it the seeds will disperse throughout the air.
Dandelion seeds are wind dispersed
They spread by blowing through a summer breeze. (a.k.a- they spread by wind)
Dandelion seeds have adapted to be spread far and wide by the wind.
A Dandelion uses Wind to spread the seeds. When the dandelion turns white and fluffy, wind can pick up the seeds, since they are attached to the fluff. Next time you see a fluffy white dandelion, pull off some of the fluff and take a look. You will see tiny seeds attached at the bottom!

The seed is very small and light, and it is attached to a cotton like fruit that can be caught by the wind and carried a long distance from the parent plant. By this method, a dandelion can spread its offspring very rapidly to far and wide places.
How does the structure of the dandelion fruit and seed helps a dandelion spread its seeds? The Light weight structure of the fruit causes wind to move it easily, there fore helping its seed spread.
Their seeds break off a not fully developed dandelion, fly in the winds and can land anywhere. Once they land, all they need is water to start growing a dandelion plant.

They are caught by even the slightest breeze - making them travel far from the parent plant.
