The primary role of adaptation of flowers, fruits or seeds remain to promote pollination in plants
for which the plants acquire multiple type of adaptations.
Please find the answers below:
A. Role of flowers in adaptation: Flowers play a crucial role in adaptation by acquiring
differntial colors in order to attract insects which helps in cross pollination. Also, the flowers
might acquire changes in shape of their petals by exaggerating the length and location of ovary
so that the stigma might be more protruded in nature in order to aid pollination. Alternatively,
petals might be altogether absent in order to absolutely promote pollination by insects or wind.
B. Role of fruits in adaptation: A fruiting body can help in adaptation of a plant by many means.
The fruiting body might be reduced in size in order to promote easy dispersal by air. Small fruit
size aids in dispersal of seeds in many plants since a ripened ovary or fruit shrinks in size thus
revealing the seed for dispersal. Also, under harsh conditions, the fruit might convert into a
protective structure which can aid sustanance of the seed until favourable conditions arrive.
Acquisition of bright colors also helps to attract insects and animals which in turn promotes
dispersal of seeds.
C. Role of seeds in adaptation: Some plants are evolved with attachment of feathery structures on
the seeds which further promote dispersal by wind. Some aquatic plants may acquire changes in
shapes of seeds to promote buoyancy so that the seed might float on the water surface and do not
sink. Structural modification of seeds is realised in draught conditions and flood conditions when
hard external coating is formed around the seed to prevent undue loss or influx of water thus
protecting the germplasm.
Thus, structural and functional modification of plant organs help to disperse the seeds in plants
and help in adaptation under differential environmental conditions.
