A reproductive unit that disperses from a plant and can develop into a new plant, like seeds or spores.
From Greek 'dia-' (across, dispersed) + 'spora' (seed, spore). Botanists use this term for any plant part adapted for dispersal.
A diaspore is nature's tiny traveling package—dandelion seeds, coconuts floating on oceans, or burrs stuck to animal fur—each one a potential new plant waiting for the perfect landing spot!
