A half buried seed head (3)

I believe the answer is:

bur

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seed head' is the definition.
'bur' can be an answer for 'seed' (I have seen 'Prickly seed ' mean 'bur' so perhaps 'seed' could also mean 'bur'). I am not certain of the 'head' bit.

'a half buried' is the wordplay.
'a half' indicates taking half.
'buried' cut in half is 'BUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bur that I've seen before include "sticker" , "Seed-case" , "Prickly seed case" , "small drill" , "Clinging seed case" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
