Dispersal vector

Dispersal vector
The seeds of dandelions are adapted to wind dispersal.

In the biology of dispersal, a dispersal vector is "an agent transporting seeds or other dispersal units".[1] Dispersal vectors may include biotic factors, such as animals, or abiotic factors, such as the wind.[1]
