Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The seeds and fruits dispersed by wind either have wing-like structures or they have hair or they are very small and light, which helps them to be easily carried away by the blowing wind. For example: (a) The seeds of drumstick plant have wings so that they can be carried away by wind to far away places and dispersed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some seeds, such as those of dandelions, have wings that enable them to be carried long distances by the wind. Water dispersal is another common method of seed dispersal. Seeds that are dispersed by water often have a hard coat that protects them from being damaged.
