It is dispersed by wind
Splitting Open
Kapok seeds are dispersed by wind as they have fluffy fibers that help them float away from the parent tree. These fibers are buoyant and allow the seeds to be carried long distances by wind to new germination sites.
The dispersal method of a kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) primarily involves wind. The tree produces large, fluffy seed pods filled with lightweight seeds surrounded by a cotton-like fiber. When the pods mature, they burst open, allowing the wind to carry the seeds over long distances, facilitating their spread and potential germination in suitable habitats. This adaptation helps ensure the survival and propagation of the species in diverse environments.

Kapok Fibre
when the kapok pops, its seeds go all over the place and then it will grow on a new kapok tree (i think =.=)
Many different species live on or around the kapok tree. Moss could potentially grow on the bark of a kapok tree, especially in humid environments. Snakes may also inhabit kapok trees to seek shelter or prey on animals that visit the tree.
The health hazards that exist for working with Kapok fibers are only hazardous when the Kapok is burned. The fibers could be toxic. Kapok fibers are hypoallergenic and usually harmless.

The Great Kapok Tree was created in 1990.
The relative molecular weight of kapok seed oil is 875.081.
A mature kapok tree may be 60 - 70 m.
