A
To absorb nutrients from the soil
B
To perform photosynthesis
C
To attract pollinators
D
To protect and disperse seeds
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that fruits are a part of the plant's reproductive system, specifically developed from the ovary after flowering.
Recognize that the primary function of fruits is to protect the seeds during development and aid in their dispersal once mature.
Consider how fruits can attract animals with their color, scent, and taste, which helps in seed dispersal as animals eat the fruit and later excrete the seeds elsewhere.
Differentiate between the functions of fruits and other plant parts: roots absorb nutrients, leaves perform photosynthesis, and flowers attract pollinators.
Conclude that the best description of the function of fruits is to protect and disperse seeds, ensuring the continuation of the plant species.
