Sunflowers, for the most part, are hybrids and cannot replicate the SAME plant over and over. It is only capable of producing one hybrid. If you collected the seeds from this hybrid and planted them next year, you'd get either one of the cross-bred plants used to create the hybrid, but not the hybrid.. One sunflower plant has an awful lot of seeds that you can gather and keep for next year! So, in a sense, they do multiply, just not as the same plant.....

Sunflowers are annuals, which means that the individual plant will only live one growing season. They put out lots of seeds that stay on the ground all winter and germinate in the spring.

If I understand your question....it's because hey only have one germ. I don't know of any seed that will put out more than one sprout. Many plants will send shoots off their roots, but not the seed.
