Organizing and summarizing search results for youDandelion seeds are primarily dispersed by wind flow. The seeds have a fluffy structure that enables them to hold the most prolonged wind-based dispersal record. Commonly, the seeds land 2 meters away from their mother plant. Other plants that rely on wind dispersal include swan plants and cottonwood trees. Some plants, like kauri and maple trees, have ‘winged’ seeds that flutter to the ground.2 Sources
