Dandelion seeds are commonly referred to as "puffballs" or "dandelion parachutes." They are actually the fluffy, white seed heads that form after the yellow dandelion flower blooms and matures. Each seed is attached to a fine, hair-like structure called a pappus, which helps it disperse in the wind.
The seed head of a dandelion is commonly referred to as a "puffball" or "dandelion clock." It consists of numerous tiny seeds, each attached to a delicate, parachute-like structure called a pappus, which aids in wind dispersal. When the seeds are mature, they can easily be blown away, allowing for the plant's propagation.
A Dandelion uses Wind to spread the seeds. When the dandelion turns white and fluffy, wind can pick up the seeds, since they are attached to the fluff. Next time you see a fluffy white dandelion, pull off some of the fluff and take a look. You will see tiny seeds attached at the bottom!

The top of a dandelion's head is called a "seed head" or "puffball." It is made up of many small, parachute-like structures called "pappus" that help the seeds disperse in the wind.
