Yes, a maple tree drops seeds, which are commonly known as "helicopters" or samaras. These seeds typically mature in the late spring and are dispersed by the wind, allowing them to germinate and grow into new maple trees. The shape of the samaras helps them spin and glide, aiding in their dispersal over distances.
A maple tree can produce thousands of seeds each year. The number of seeds can vary depending on the species of maple tree and environmental factors.
Maple seeds are typically called "helicopter seeds" or "maple keys" because of the way they spin and helicopter-like shape when falling from a tree.
maple seeds work by air presure. Air pressure makes things fly such as maple seeds.

Maple tree seeds have wings to help them disperse. The wings allow the seeds to travel further away from the parent tree when they fall, helping to increase the chances of finding a suitable environment for germination and growth.
Sugar Maple trees have helicoptor seeds (when they fall, they twist like helicoptors).
A maple tree is an angiosperm because it produces seeds enclosed within fruits. Angiosperms are flowering plants that bear seeds within a protective ovary, which develops into a fruit. Maple trees produce seeds called 'samaras' that are encased in winged fruits, making them angiosperms.
Some common tree seeds that can be easily planted in a garden include acorns from oak trees, maple seeds from maple trees, and pine cones from pine trees.
No
wind The wind blows the seeds off the tree. The seeds are 'winged' and float/spin down to the ground.
The Maple has several adaptations, like most trees it drop its leaves to survive the winter time. The roots of a Maple tree are strong and extensively branched out and the fruit of the maple tree is adapted to catch wind.
