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.
Seeds with adaptations like wings, hairs, or parachutes are able to float on the wind. Examples include dandelion seeds, maple seeds, and thistle seeds. This method of dispersal is known as anemochory.
Apple tree (Malus domestica) - agent: animals; dispersal: seeds encased in fruit. Maple tree (Acer spp.) - agent: wind; dispersal: seeds attached to a propeller-like structure. Coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera) - agent: water; dispersal: seeds enclosed in a buoyant husk.
Seeds can be transferred through various methods, including wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal mechanisms. Wind dispersal involves seeds being carried by the wind, water dispersal occurs when seeds float in water to new locations, animal dispersal happens when seeds are ingested by animals and deposited elsewhere, and self-dispersal mechanisms include seed pods that burst open to release seeds or seeds that are propelled away by the plant itself.
By blowing a dandelion, you scatter the seeds into the air for dispersal. It's unlikely that you would be able to accurately count the number of seeds remaining on the dandelion after blowing on it. The purpose of the dandelion's seed dispersal method is to ensure the spread of its seeds for reproduction.
The spreading out of seeds from the original plant is called dispersal.

maple seeds have wings which when wind blows it flies and falls far away.
Trees that have spinning seeds include maple trees, such as the silver maple and sugar maple. These trees produce winged seeds called samaras that spin as they fall to the ground, helping with seed dispersal.
Yes, maple trees are an example of seed dispersal by explosion. When the maple fruits, known as samaras or "helicopter seeds," mature, they rely on wind to carry them away from the parent tree. The seeds are dispersed as the samaras spin and glide through the air, helping the tree to spread its seeds over a wider area.
It uses the splitting method.

It dries up and splits forcefully. The seeds will then drop out to the ground.
