True

Seeds from plants such as Swan and Cottonwood trees are light and have feathery bristles. They can be easily carried away to long distance by the wind. On the other hand, some plants like Kauri and Maple trees have ‘winged’ seeds. These seeds don’t float away but flutter to the ground and is also an example of wind dispersal. Hence the statement is correct.
