1. the scientific definition of a fruit is a structure that bears a seed or seeds that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant
2. the term for distributing seeds after they mature is called dispersing
3. mechanical dispersal occurs when the ripened fruit opens and scatters seeds

agent dispersal occurs when an animal feeds on fleshy fruits as some seeds pass through the digestive system, while some drop and scatter onto the ground.

hope this helped & god bless
