Seeds that can stick to socks include burdock seeds, which have tiny hooks that latch onto fabric, and cocklebur seeds, known for their barbed structure. Other examples are the velcro-like seeds of plant species such as beggar's ticks (or bidens) and certain types of thistles. These seeds have evolved these mechanisms to enhance their dispersal by hitching rides on animals or humans.
