Another name for dandelion seeds is "dandelion clocks" due to their resemblance to a clock face when they disperse in the wind.
Dandelion seeds are scattered by the wind. Puff ball mushrooms "explode" and disperse spore.
Some examples of seeds that disperse by flying away include dandelion seeds, maple seeds (helicopters), cottonwood seeds, and larch seeds. These seeds have adaptations such as wings or parachutes that allow them to be carried by the wind over long distances before settling in a new location to grow.
The seed is dispersed by wind, similar to a dandelion
Two examples are the fluffy seeds of the dandelion and the rose-bay willow herb blowing far and wide on the wind.
Yes,the small yellow white seeds can be blown away by a gust of wind over a large area so that the young do not compete with the adult for oxygen,warmth,sunlight and nutrients...welcome
Dandelion seeds are attached to a fluffy parachute-like structure that helps them disperse in the wind, while apple seeds are contained within the fruit's core. Dandelion seeds are lighter and able to travel farther distances with wind dispersal, whereas apple seeds rely on animals to scatter them. Additionally, dandelion seeds are adapted for long-distance dispersal to colonize new areas, while apple seeds are typically dispersed closer to the parent tree.
Dandelion seeds are wind dispersed
The top of a dandelion's head is called a "seed head" or "puffball." It is made up of many small, parachute-like structures called "pappus" that help the seeds disperse in the wind.
Dandelions disperse their seeds using the wind. The wind can blow the seed miles away from its parent. Therefore the new dandelion will not have to compete with the parent plant for space or water.
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.
Plants cannot fly on their own. They rely on other mechanisms like wind, water, animals, or humans to disperse their seeds for reproduction.
