Seeds of plants like cotton, poppy and drumstick are dispersed by wind. Wind disperesed seeds have special adaptations which make their dispersal easier.
They are light in weight. Some have wings that help them fly long distances. Some also have fluffy hair which enable them to be carried long distances by the slightest breeze.
