Why are fruit and vegetables mostly round?
In: Biology
As well as the space optimisation thing, it’s also to do with how they grow. If something grows outwards from a point (the pollinated flower – or whatever) then it’ll expand as a sort of ball shape, since each point on the surface of a sphere is the same distance from the centre.
Other things instead grow in an elongated shape as they are growing in a particular direction.
