why???? because:
Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species. If plants grow too closely together, theyhave to compete for light, water and nutrients from the soil. ... Some fruits can be carried by water, such as afloating coconut. Some seeds have little hooks that can stick on to an animal's furry coat.

Answer:
Tribulus terrestris, geum canadense are some of the seeds that contain hooks and horns.
Explanation:
Dispersal of seeds is one of the important factor in distribution and growth of plant species.
So plants adopt different methods to make seed dispersal.
Seeds contain hooks and horns to get attached to animals and get dispersed.
These seeds get dropped in the areas where the animals move.
