Pinecones shrink in water due to the absorption of moisture, which affects their structure. When exposed to water, the fibers in the cone swell, causing the woody scales to separate and lose their rigidity. As they dry out, the scales close up again, which is a natural response to moisture changes, helping the seeds inside to remain protected until conditions are favorable for germination.
