Detailed explanation-1: -The fruit has a single purpose: seed dispersal. Seeds contained within fruits need to be dispersed far from the mother plant, so they may find favorable and less competitive conditions in which to germinate and grow.
Detailed explanation-2: -In some plants seeds are housed within a fruit (such as apples or oranges). These fruits, including the seeds, are eaten by animals who then disperse the seeds when they defecate. Some fruits can be carried by water, such as a floating coconut. Some seeds have little hooks that can stick on to an animal’s furry coat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animals disperse seeds by carryng them on their body or by eating the fruit of a plant and disposing the seeds at some other location as they move.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is seed and fruit dispersal? • Spreading of seeds and fruits away from parents so as to settle where conditions are suitable for their germination.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fruits are ripened ovaries which promote the dispersal of seeds. Fruits have adaptations that harness energy from wind, water, drying, or animals to disperse seeds. Animals transport seeds by eating fruits, storing seeds, or picking up burrs on fur or clothing.
