HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Each dandelion seed is tethered by a thin tube to around 100 bristles, which form the parachute-like structure. When seeds break free from the flower head, these bundles of hairs catch the wind and carry their seeds. This hairy parachute closes when the air is humid, which often means the wind is weak.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gust of wind can catch a slowly falling seed, carry it away, and thus improve the plant’s chances of reproducing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Seed Dispersal by Wind The seeds of the orchid plant, dandelions, swan plants, cottonwood tree, hornbeam, ash, cattail, puya, willow herb, are all examples of plants whose seed are dispersed by the wind.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dispersal by Wind: Such seeds float on air and are thus dispersed by wind. Example: Dandelion, maple, drumstick, etc.
