Answer:
ductail plant for air seed example
1. 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.
2. Violets, poisonous squirting cucumbers, and touch-me-nots or Impatiens capensis (not to be confused with these touch-me-nots) have an effective way of dispersing their seeds: They burst! The forceful ejection sends the seeds flying as far away as possible from the original plant.
3. Plants Which Reproduce Through Leaves
Bryophyllum. Although many plants sometimes can sprout a new plant from a well-planted leaf, bryophyllum, or Kalanchoe, can do so while the leaves still are attached to the branch.
African Violets. The African violet is a common purple or blue plant in many homes in the United States.
Begonias.
Sansiveria.
4. Many plants, such as ginger, onion, gladioli, and dahlia, continue to grow from buds that are present on the surface of the stem. In some plants, such as the sweet potato, adventitious roots or runners (stolons) can give rise to new plants. In Bryophyllum and kalanchoe, the leaves have small buds on their margins.
5. Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction. The corm is used by gladiolus and garlic. Bulbs, such as a scaly bulb in lilies and a tunicate bulb in daffodils, are other common examples of this type of reproduction. A potato is a stem tuber, while parsnip propagates from a taproot.
