Why are most fruits round?

Because the spherical area is the smallest among all objects with the same volume, and because the spherical area is the smallest, the fruit itself grows into a "circle", and the evaporation of water on its surface is small, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the fruit.

The sphere has the smallest area, and the fruit itself grows into a "circle", so there are fewer places for pests to stand on the skin of the fruit, which naturally reduces pests and diseases.

Because the fruit is "round", no matter which direction the wind blows, it is easy for the wind to pass along the tangent plane of the fruit surface, and only a small part is affected. In addition, because the sphere has the smallest area, when the storm strikes, the area that the storm hits the fruit is also the smallest, so the damage of the storm to the fruit is minimized.

It turns out that the fruit has grown into a "circle" in order to minimize its appearance. It is an inner wisdom and strength to "shrink" yourself from the outside.
