Dandelion seeds are attached to a feathery structure called a pappus, which acts like a parachute, allowing them to be carried by the wind to new locations. When the wind blows, the pappus helps the seeds to float away from the parent plant and cover greater distances for dispersal.
The main function of the pericarp is to protect the seeds within the fruit and aid in their dispersal. It can also help attract animals for seed dispersal or protect the seeds from environmental factors.
The weed you are referring to is likely the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). Dandelion seeds have white fluffy structures called pappus that allow them to be carried by the wind, helping with seed dispersal.
How does the structure of the dandelion fruit and seed helps a dandelion spread its seeds? The Light weight structure of the fruit causes wind to move it easily, there fore helping its seed spread.
As the seed develops after fertilization, the ovary changes into a fruit-a ripened ovary and other structures that enclose one or more seeds. Fruits are the means by which angiosperm seeds are dispersed. Animals that eat fruits help to disperse their seeds. Fruit nurishes the developing seeds inside the fruit and on maturity it helps in the dispersal of seeds.
Dandelions disperse their seeds using the wind. The wind can blow the seed miles away from its parent. Therefore the new dandelion will not have to compete with the parent plant for space or water.
The seed is very small and light, and it is attached to a cotton like fruit that can be caught by the wind and carried a long distance from the parent plant. By this method, a dandelion can spread its offspring very rapidly to far and wide places.

There are two functions of a fruit 1. To protect and nourish the developing seeds inside the fruit 2. To help is the dispersal of these seeds Sometimes, as in case of grains and nuts, the mature fruit wall also protect the germinating seed.

The two main functions of fruit for a plant are to protect and disperse seeds. Fruits help protect seeds from environmental stress, predation, and damage. They also aid in seed dispersal by attracting animals that eat the fruit and then spread the seeds through their droppings.
Seeds help plants in dispersal and propagation
