What happens when a daffodil blooms?

The daffodil gets its food through photosynthesis. When the plant has leaves, it is making its food through the interaction between chlorophyll in its leaves and sunlight. It uses this food during the flowering process and stores some of the food in the bulb underground. The following year, the bulb will use this food to send new shoots up through the soil to develop a new green plant.

How does a daffodil move?

Plant migration has to do with seed dispersal. The answer for daffodils is very rarely. If the plant does produce seed (this is very inefficient for a bulb plant), the seed will burst from the ovule and fall among the leaves of the same plant. For them to be dispersed, it would take a squirrel or some other animal to gather and distribute the seed. Since the daffodil tissue is toxic to animals, they leave the clumps alone, and that includes seed gathering.
