| The fruit part of the apple is the ovary wall, which has been filled with nutrients to become a pay off to the animal which eats it for dispersing the seed. |
 |
| The seed has a coating called a Testa, and this protects the seed and holds the cotyledons. |
 |
| The ovary layer grows around the seed, and becomes more enriched with nutrients, and grows bigger. The colour and the scent of an apple attracts animals, and they eat it, and the seed goes through the digestive system and gets eliminated and the seed ends up in a mound of compost, theoretically with the required germinating conditions. |
outstanding!
