Touch-me-not seeds, also known as jewelweed orImpatiens, are dispersed through a unique mechanism called explosive dehiscence. When the seed pods mature and are touched or disturbed, they burst open with force, propelling the seeds several feet away from the parent plant. This method of dispersal allows the seeds to spread effectively and colonize new areas. The rapid release helps ensure that the seeds have the best chance of germinating in suitable environments.
