What is the primary method of seed dispersal for dandelions?
Correct Answer: Wind dispersal
- Step 1: Dandelions produce flowers that turn into seed heads.
- Step 2: Each seed is attached to a fluffy structure called a pappus.
- Step 3: When the seeds are ready, the seed head dries out.
- Step 4: Wind blows the seed head, causing the seeds to detach.
- Step 5: The lightweight seeds, with their pappus, are carried away by the wind.
