How do seeds grow in fruit? How? Just how? This has been bothering me for ages
In: Other
Seeds grow inside fruit because, after a flower is pollinated, the flower’s ovary starts to develop into fruit. Inside the ovary are tiny potential seeds called ovules. When pollination happens, these ovules get fertilized and begin to grow into seeds.
At the same time, the ovary around the seeds turns into the fruit, which acts like a protective container. As the fruit grows, it provides food and protection for the developing seeds. Once the fruit is fully grown and ripe, it helps spread the seeds, either by falling to the ground or being eaten by animals, who then scatter the seeds elsewhere.
So, the fruit is basically a package that helps seeds grow and later spreads them so new plants can grow.
