JudySome seeds, like those of legumes, are referred to as "mitten-shaped" due to their rounded shape and a slight indented line that runs linearly down the middle of the seed. This shape helps the seed to split open when it germinates, allowing the emerging root and shoot to grow.

What kind of trees wears mittens?
Palm trees do not wear mittens. They do not have hands or need to protect them from the cold.
How are seeds despersed?
Seeds are dispersed in various ways, such as by wind, water, animals, or through explosion. Wind-dispersed seeds are lightweight and have structures like wings or hairs to catch the wind. Some seeds can float in water, aiding in dispersal across bodies of water. Animals may eat seeds and then deposit them in a different location through their droppings, helping the seeds to grow in new areas. Finally, some plants have pods that explode, propelling the seeds away from the parent plant.
How do seeds travel through air?
Seeds can travel through the air by being carried by the wind. Some seeds are designed with structures like wings, hairs, or parachutes that help them stay airborne and travel long distances. This method of dispersal allows seeds to reach new areas and colonize different habitats.
