A bur, thorn or other obstruction on a seed coat protects the seed from being rendered unviable because animals are deterred from eating the seed and subjecting it to harsh digestive juices. Burs, or sticky, prickly seed coatings also allow the seed to be carried afar by animals who brush against the bur and get it stuck on their fur.
