The plums represent negative electrons
The plums represent the electrons, which has a negative charge.
Thomson's plum pudding model is the model of an atom in which an atom is regarded as a sphere of size 10^(-10)m radius and positively charged matter in which electrons were embedded. Thomson used the pudding as the positive charge and the plums as the negative charge. The plums are stuck in the pudding just as electrons are randomly found in an atom.

Thomson believed that electrons were attached to the nucleus like plums in pudding or raisins in bread.
Thomson discovered electrons studying cathode rays and estimating the mass and electrical charge of the component particles.
J.J. Thomson is credited with the discovery of the electron in about 1904. He envisioned negatively charged "corpuscles" floating in a positively charged cloud, just like plums in a plum pudding. This was the "plum pudding" model of the atom, and it lasted until Geiger and Marsden conducted their gold foil experiment in about 1909.
Thompson's plum pudding model was that the raisin were negatively charged (electrons) and that the rest of the pudding positively charged.
j.j thomson put forward the plum pudding theory according to which element is like pudding of positive charge and tiny negative charges stuck inside like plums in pudding.

In Thomson's "Plum Pudding Model" each atom was a sphere filled with a positively charged fluid. The fluid was called the "pudding." Scattered in this fluid were electrons known as the "plums." The radius of the model was 10-10 meters. Thomson suggested that the positive fluid held the negative charges, the electrons, in the atom because of electrical forces. However, this was only a very vague explanation and failed to provide any definite answers.
Positively charge protons
