by animals
Burdock seeds are typically pollinated by insects, especially bees, that visit the burdock flowers to collect nectar. As they move from flower to flower, they inadvertently transfer pollen, leading to fertilization and seed development. This process ensures genetic diversity in the burdock population.

One example of a plant that disperses its seeds by animals is the burdock plant. Its seeds have small hooks that easily attach to the fur of passing animals, which then carry the seeds to new locations as they move around.
