the fruit remains green until the seed matures, then it changes color to attract the critter that is going to eat the plant, seeds and all. The result will be seeds from that plant being distributed over large distances, at least in the terms of plants. As the animals graze they leave dung behind and in that are the seeds which can survive a trip throught the digestive tract, thus ensuring seeds are not all just deposited closely around the plant if this relationship with the animals didn't exist. The animals know the fruits and nuts are not ready until they get to the right color, when they do, the animals will feast on the newly ripened fruit which feeds the animal and ensures the spread and survival of the plant in the natural kingdom.

Why does it make sense that many fruits are green when their seeds are immature?

Many fruits are green when their seeds are immature as it helps attract animals for seed dispersal. Green color signals to animals that the fruit is not yet ready for consumption, allowing the seeds more time to mature. Once the fruit turns ripe and the seeds are mature, the color changes to signal that it is now ready for consumption and seed dispersal.
