what method do dandelions use for seed dispersal

SouravSeptember 2, 2024

Answer

Dandelions use wind dispersal for their seeds. The seeds are attached to a fluffy, parachute-like structure called a pappus, which allows them to be carried away by the wind. This adaptation enables dandelion seeds to travel over long distances, increasing the likelihood of finding suitable locations for germination and growth. The lightweight and aerodynamic design of the pappus helps the seeds remain airborne and be dispersed widely.
