Plants have various means of dispersing their seeds. Here are two immature seed heads and two mature seed heads, the latter which is dry and quite brittle. You can see on both the immature and many of mature seeds one or two terminal spikes and a series of  saw-tooth like projections along the seed that allow it to catch to animals that are moving by and later drop. The seeds also readily drop to the soil as the seed head dries.
