on "seed dispersal".
hitch balloon fruits water feather-like
seeds ripe wind air float
travel dandelion expanded parachute Burs
plant prickly
Burs , those prickly little balls that stick to your clothes when you walk
through fields or gardens, are actually the fruits of some plants. They contain
the seeds of the plant. They're so prickly and sticky because they have tiny
little hooks in them. That way they can hitch a ride on people and animals and
deposit seeds in a new destination-and then a new plant can start to grow.
In a dandelion plant, the seeds are inside a fruit covered in tiny feather-
like leaves, a perfect design for travel . The seeds are picked up by the
wind and their little feathers act like a parachute , allowing the fruit to float
gently down to the ground. They can fly a very long distance.
The lotus plant uses water to help spread its seeds. The roots of the plant

grow on the floor of a pond or river, and the stems arch over the surface of
the water. When the seeds are ripe , they drop off the plant and float
through the water to a new destination. Some plants grow their seeds in cases.
As the seed grows, the case puffs up like a balloon . When the pressure of the
expanded seed gets to be too much, the casing bursts and the seeds are
thrown into the air .
