The bur uses animals or other methods to disperse its seeds. The seeds are enclosed in a prickly or spiny structure that sticks to fur or clothing, allowing them to be carried to new locations for germination.
who would know we are not geeks are we hahaha
Thistle seeds use wind dispersal, with their small, feathery structures allowing them to be carried by the wind. Ash and maple seeds use a method called helicopter or autorotation dispersal, where their wing-like structures allow them to spin and glide through the air.
There are several types of seed dispersal, including wind dispersal, where seeds are carried away by the wind; water dispersal, where seeds float and are transported by water; animal dispersal, where seeds are eaten and later excreted by animals or carried on their fur; and explosive dispersal, where seeds are ejected from the fruit when it bursts open. Each method helps ensure that seeds spread to suitable environments for germination and growth.
The process where a ripe fruit bursts open to release its seeds is called explosive dehiscence. This mechanism enables the seeds to be forcefully ejected from the fruit to disperse and germinate in new locations. It is a common method of seed dispersal in plants like peas and touch-me-nots.
Burs are dispersed primarily by attaching themselves to the fur or feathers of animals, or the clothing of humans, which carry them to new locations. This method, known as epizoochory, allows burs to travel long distances. Additionally, some burs can be dispersed by wind or water, but their primary mode of dispersal relies on sticking to passing animals. This adaptation ensures that the seeds are spread effectively to suitable environments for germination.
Wind dispersal
By splitting/explosive method.
Animals
The dispersal method for bird's nest fern is either by wind, animals, or grow where they fall.
Wind is the best method of seed dispersal.

Explosive or splitting action
Wind
It refers to the means of distributing something.
