How do moss balls move?

Published in Botany 1 min read

Moss balls move because they are composed of moss, dirt, and rock, often found in environments like glaciers, where they can roll or be pushed by external forces like wind or water. The video references "fuzzy herds of green moss balls" suggesting a collective movement pattern, although the exact mechanism driving their movement is still being researched by scientists. The video also states that they are softball-sized.
