Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit has a single purpose: seed dispersal. Seeds contained within fruits need to be dispersed far from the mother plant, so they may find favorable and less competitive conditions in which to germinate and grow. ... Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float.

Some fruits—for example, the dandelion—have hairy, weightless structures that are suited to dispersal by wind. Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float. Coconuts are well known for their ability to float on water to reach land where they can germinate.
