anemofilia
  48

I would literally want to say love for the wind, predilection for air. In fact, in Botany, it is a quality of some seeds (which we call anemophiles), which by the effects of evolution, have been developed in such a way that they are allowed to spread by the wind with great ease. Many of them, have appearances of propellers (for example in the case of the chicalá tree) or in other cases they are very light hair balloons (dandelion). Obviously the plants with this kind of seeds spread very easily.
