Even though costly to a plant to embed its seeds, carrying its own progeny, in resource costly material (take the sweet apple pulp, for instance), plant fruits help scatter the seeds over larger areas. This strategy reduces competition for resources between "parents and progeny", either for water and minerals or direct access to sunlight. Since the seed already contains material that will help embryo development during the first stages, it might be expected that all other fruit components, namely the sweet pulp, when present, might function primarily as an attractant and reward for animals that will eat the fruit. This strategy seems, thus, like the result of a co-evolution mechanism, much like flowers and pollinators. In fact, some plants possess seeds that require the passage through animal guts in order to be able to germinate.
