Question

Why do some seeds appear to have wings?

• A. To be carried away by the wind
• B. To grip branches
• C. To help in opening fruits
• D. To catch prey

Answer 1

The correct option is A

To be carried away by the wind

Birds grow wings to enable them to fly. Some birds with wing like structures cannot really fly. But these “wings” help them glide through the air to cover long distances. SImilarly, seeds which appear to have wings actually are carried by the wind.
