Fruit

In this picture, Kayla is holding a banana which is a fruit from the banana plant. Fruits come from the ovary of the plant. Fruits are unique to angiosperm plants. Plants use these fruits to spread their seeds over a large area. When an animal eats a fruit, it eats the seed as well. The animal then defecates the seed after it has been digested. After the seed passes through the animal, it ends up in a new area most times and the plant can spread to new areas. (1)
