The explosion of pods for dispersal by natural seed-fall, wildlife or wind describes the way that the jewel weed disperses seeds. The annual in question (Impatiens capensis) produces pendant (hanging) pods after the orange, three-lobed flower's pollination by bees and hummingbirds. Seeds that explode in response to light breezes and touches will be called projectiles.

Seeds that explode in response to light breezes and touches will be called projectiles.
Jewelweed disperses its seeds through a mechanism called explosive dehiscence. When the seed pods mature and are touched or disturbed, they burst open, propelling the seeds away from the parent plant. This rapid release can send seeds several feet away, allowing for a broader distribution in the surrounding area. This adaptation helps the plant colonize new locations effectively.
No, a pine cone is not a weed. Pine cones are reproductive structures of pine trees, serving to produce and disperse seeds. Weeds, on the other hand, are typically unwanted plants that grow in gardens or agricultural settings, often competing with cultivated plants for resources. Thus, pine cones are part of the natural reproductive cycle of trees rather than a type of weed.
