The core discovery for a curious mind



The video shows the natural phenomenon of a mature cattail's fruit spike explosively releasing its seeds upon impact. The operator holds a complete cattail fruit spike and forcefully strikes it against the hard ground. The fruit spike immediately bursts, releasing clouds of white, fluffy material.

🌱 Mature cattail fruit spike: The brown, hot-dog-like object in the video is the cattail's highly dense female inflorescence, which, after maturing, contains tens of thousands of tiny seeds inside.

This spectacular explosive release is a highly evolved survival mechanism, designed to use external energy to instantly launch thousands of seeds—each with its own flying apparatus—into the air to achieve the widest possible species dispersal.
