They have parachutes so they could fly
Milkweed seeds have little silken parachutes. They travel with the wind.
They are caught by even the slightest breeze - making them travel far from the parent plant.
Milkweed creates silken parachutes for its seeds so they can travel in the wind.
Mother Nature, people, and wildlife interventions and structural adaptations are the ways in which milkweeds spread their seeds. The plant in question (Asclepias) has a parachute-like covering to each seed which therefore can be spread easily by breezes, storms, or winds. Its seed likewise cooperates with any opportunities for dislodgement and movement through intentional or non-intentional displacements by people and wildlife.
They are spread by the wind. When the flower matures from its usual yellow, the seeds, sporting tiny white 'parachutes' are blown about by the wind - often for considerable distances.
Seeds with adaptations like wings, hairs, or parachutes are able to float on the wind. Examples include dandelion seeds, maple seeds, and thistle seeds. This method of dispersal is known as anemochory.
Some of the ingenious adaptations for this method of wind dispersal include seeds that resemble parachutes, helicopters and gliders. Examples are- Calotropis, Adenium and Alestonia seeds.
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.
Its still parachutes.
Seeds with adaptations like wings, tufts of hair, or parachutes can harness wind to help them travel through the air. These structures create lift or catch the wind, enabling seeds to disperse over long distances from the parent plant.
