The fleshy pulp around the seeds of fruits serves as a mechanism to attract animals to consume the fruit, helping in the dispersal of seeds. The animals eat the sweet pulp and either discard the seeds elsewhere or pass them through their digestive system, aiding in seed dispersal and increasing the plant's chances of reproduction.
