Abstract
This paper is concerned with plant biomechanics to obtain inspiration from nature. The results of a morphological study on dandelions and those seeds are presented. The growth of the dandelion, Taraxacum officinale Weber, was recorded in the size. Since the seeds are very light in weight and they have flight organs such as pappus, some morphological parameters were measured. Cellular patterns in root of dandelion seeds were observed and the dynamics of such patterns was considered.The design of dandelion is revealed.
