The hard and slippery shell covering of tomato seeds serves several important functions. It protects the seeds from physical damage and prevents desiccation, ensuring they remain viable until conditions are favorable for germination. The slippery texture also aids in seed dispersal, as it can help the seeds pass through the digestive tracts of animals more easily, facilitating their spread in the environment. Overall, this adaptation enhances the chances of successful reproduction and survival for the tomato plant.
