Here's why:
* Attraction: The bright colors, sweet smells, and delicious flavors of fruits entice animals to eat them.
* Seed dispersal: The seeds within the fruit pass through the animal's digestive system unharmed. When the animal defecates, the seeds are deposited in a new location, often far from the parent plant. This helps the plant spread its offspring and avoid competition for resources.
This is a great example of a mutually beneficial relationship between plants and animals!
