In the context of plants, "parachute" often refers to the way certain seeds are dispersed through the air. These seeds, equipped with structures like tufts of hair or wings, resemble parachutes, allowing them to glide or float away from the parent plant. This adaptation helps ensure wider distribution and increases the chances of germination in suitable environments. Examples include dandelion seeds and the seeds of the milkweed plant.
