It has hook -like structures to cling onto animal's fur which will then fall off at a certain place.
Well they disperse seeds by eating them, or getting the seeds stuck on their fur. Then when the animal travels the seeds might fall off the animal and land in a new place.

When seeds are dispersed by an animal they are usually either consumed by the animal then expelled in the animal's waste or caught in the animal's fur and later released as the animal shed. In both scenarios the animal acts as a transport for the seeds and can carry seeds much further than the small launch in a plant's explosive mechanism
Wind, bird droppings, water transport, animal fur, gravity, animal caching
When animals eat fruit they may spit out the seeds or the seeds pass through the animal and fall to the ground as droppings. Sometimes seeds with tiny hooks or stick to an animals fur. They are carried a long way before they fall.
Typically, seeds are blown by the wind (corn and dandelions, for example) or by having burrs or stickers that cling to the fur of passing animals. Some seeds are carried by birds, or other animals to new locations.
