Other plants have fruits with hooks
Beggar's ticks (Bidens) have seeds with tiny hooks or barbs that easily attach to fur or clothing, facilitating their dispersal by animals. These structures help the seeds hitch a ride to new locations where they can germinate and grow.
The hooks on goose-grass (cleavers) seeds help them stick to passing animals' fur or clothing, allowing for easy dispersal to new locations. As the animal moves, the hooked seeds are pulled off and deposited elsewhere, aiding in the plant's spread and reproduction.
A clingy seed pod is a type of seed pod that attaches itself to surfaces using hooks, barbs, or other specialized structures. This helps the seed pod to spread and disperse its seeds more effectively by hitching a ride on animals or clothing. Examples of plants with clingy seed pods include burdock and cocklebur.
When pollen fertilizes eggs in the same flower, it forms seeds. These seeds can then develop into new plants through the process of germination.
I have a cat who is constantly coming in with burrs in his fur. He leaves burrs in my bed, on the carpet, anywhere he spends time.As he moves through weeds outside, the burrs, which have tiny hooks (like Velcro) get caught in his fur. As he continues moving - hunting, scratching, fighting - those burrs get redistributed along with his fur. Some find fertile soil while others end up in my laundry! *ouch*
Sticktight seeds have small barbs or hooks that easily attach to the fur or feathers of passing animals. These barbs help the seeds to be carried away from the parent plant when animals brush against them.
The sticky property of amorsico seeds is due to the presence of tiny hooks or barbs on the seeds that easily attach to fabric fibers. These hooks help the seeds adhere to clothing or animal fur, aiding in their dispersal to new locations for growth.

Spines and hooks stick the seeds to an animal's coat as it brushes past. The seeds are then brushed off elsewhere. Examples of this include teasels and goose grass.
This is so the plants seeds can hook on to something like a humans clothes or an animals fur and get transported to another area where they can start to grow.

Amorseco seeds have tiny hooks on their surface that allow them to easily attach to fabrics like clothes. These hooks help the seeds to disperse and attach to passing animals or objects, aiding in their propagation.

Burdock seeds are dispersed by animal fur. These burdock seeds have little hooks on them which allows them to "catch" onto the fur.

The reason seeds don't sprout is because they don't get enough water and sunlight.
Beggar-tick seeds are dispersed by attaching to the fur of animals or clothing of people passing by. The seeds have tiny hooks that easily cling to surfaces, aiding in their dispersal to new locations.
