Plant Adaptations Lesson 57
Fruits and cones have structures that help plants survive and reproduce.
The wings on the dry fruit of a maple tree allow the wind to carry the seeds to new locations.
The wings on the seeds of conifers allow the wind to carry them to new locations.
The fluff on the seeds of a dandelion allows the wind to spread them.
The hooks on the fruit of cockleburs attach to the hair of animals, which carry the seeds to new locations.
Seeds of the coconut palm are buoyant so that they can be carried by water to new locations.
A thick, waxy coating on leaves protects some plants from predators.
Some cones release seeds during fires. The cone’s waxy covering melts, which allows it to open and release seeds.
Flowers and leaves grow toward the Sun because of phototropism.
