Summary Introduction

To review:

The importance of various types of fruits in their seed dispersal and survival.

Introduction:

Fruit, in botany, refers to the seed-bearing structure, which is commonly found in the flowering plants that are also known as angiosperms. They are created from the ovary once the flowering has occurred. These are the means by which the angiosperms disseminate the seeds and the edible fruits, especially, have propagated with the movements of the animals and humans present in its symbiotic relationship, which is a means for nutrition and seed dispersal.
