how can fruits be helpful in seed dispersal

Fruits can aid in seed dispersal by attracting animals that consume the fruit and excrete the seeds in new locations. Some fruits have adaptations that facilitate dispersal, such as fleshy, nutritious coverings that entice animals. Additionally, fruits with structures like hooks or wings can be carried by the wind or water. The varied forms of fruits enhance their effectiveness in spreading seeds, allowing plants to reach a broader range of habitats and improve their chances of successful reproduction.
