Why does wind disperse dandelion plants?

Wind disperses dandelion plants primarily through their lightweight seeds, which are equipped with fluffy, parachute-like structures called pappi. When the wind blows, these structures catch the air, allowing the seeds to be carried over long distances. This adaptation helps dandelions colonize new areas, reducing competition for resources and increasing their chances of survival. By spreading their seeds far and wide, dandelions can establish themselves in diverse environments.
