State
A fruit's structure matches its dispersal strategy: fleshy fruits attract animals that eat and excrete seeds elsewhere; dry fruits disperse by wind.
Show
A cherry's flesh rewards an animal that disperses its seed in droppings; a maple's winged fruit spins on wind.
Watch for
A fruit's fleshiness signals dispersal strategy, not edibility — many fleshy fruits are toxic to some animals.
