Answer:
Maple seeds do not fall off the tree until the wings are quite dry. This has two advantages. For one thing it makes them lighter so that they will fly farther. ... When the seed lands between blades of grass, the wing may help the seed to stand vertically enabling it to more easily imbed into the ground.
