Expert Response

Thanks for your question.  I can't see your weed's leaves and how they're arranged on the stem well enough to identify this weed.  But, in answer to your question, the 'fuzzy thing' is what happens after the flower blooms and produces seeds.  These seeds are very light, like those of the dandelion, and the wind will blow them far and wide.
