It's a seed (Asteraceae?), with the pappus still attached.

Well, it looks quite unusual, but if really Asteraceae, it would be a nut fruit, not a seed. The seed would be tightly included.
Otherwise, there are seeds bearing a hair tuft in e. g. Epilobium, but this strange thing does not ring a bell to me...
