Question

What are the characteristic features of seeds dispersal by wind ?

Answer 1

Answer:

• have feathery bristles and can be carried long distances by the wind
• have 'winged' seeds
• They don't float away but flutter to the ground.

Answer 2

Answer:

Have you ever blown on a dandelion head and watched the seeds float away? This is wind dispersal. Seeds from plants like dandelions, swan plants and cottonwood trees are light and have feathery bristles and can be carried long distances by the wind. Some plants, like kauri and maple trees, have ‘winged’ seeds. They don’t float away but flutter to the ground. With wind dispersal, the seeds are simply blown about and land in all kinds of places. To help their chances that at least some of the seeds land in a place suitable for growth, these plants have to produce lots of seeds.
