Dandelion seeds spread primarily through a mechanism known as wind dispersal. Each seed is attached to a lightweight, parachute-like structure called a pappus, which allows them to be carried over long distances by the wind. When the dandelion flower matures and dries, it releases these seeds, enabling them to float away and settle in various locations, where they can germinate and grow into new plants. This efficient method of dispersal helps dandelions colonize diverse environments.

How do seeds get desperst?

Seeds are dispersed in several different ways, depending on the species of plant. Many seeds are scattered by the wind, (dandilion seeds). Some simply fall from a plant and began to grow where they land, (acorns). A few are even spread in the droppings of animals who eat the plant, many species of peppers, for example, are spread by rabbits. As a side note rabbits are not affected by capsaicin, which is the chemical that makes peppers taste hot.
