A used way for transport seeds is to use the elements of nature, that is wind, water and animals. From the keywords try see if you can figure out how it work.

Else I can help you a bit on the way: The genus Taraxacum, especially Taraxacum officinale, are known from their ability to fly with the wind. The genus Carex have a lot of species that travel by water, so does coconuts. The genus Geum is special for having thorn and are therefor slow in the digestion of animals, when the seed comes out of the animals as faeces they are a new sport than where the animal eat the seed leaving the seed along with nutrients.

Other options for short distance is that the seeds are being "exploded" out from the plant.
