Tung tree-pinhole camera in coastal forest

Many people will find it puzzling to say that the lotus leaf tung is a pinhole camera in coastal forests, and even think, "Do you want to avoid it?" Everyone needs to keep a little privacy. The ubiquitous pinhole camera always shows a small lens in an inconspicuous corner to record all the details of people's every move. The fruit of the lotus root has a bulge, which is wrapped in a receptacle. It looks like a pinhole camera that makes people turn pale when they smell it, but don't worry that it will photograph your movements, just stand under the tree and study its special shape generously!

There is a gap between the fruit and receptacle of paulownia. What is the function of this gap? Speaking of it, the descendants of the lotus leaf tree depend on this humble little space! Lotus leaves grow at the seaside, and the spread of future generations needs the help of ocean currents, so that the air can be trapped in a narrow space, and the fruits can float on the water surface and drift with the ocean after falling into the sea. If they stay in the harbor, they will have the opportunity to take root, sprout and thrive, and finally bloom and melt.
