Ancestor:Descendants:

The sticky fruit split off from the stickyballs. It lives on the King Beach. It just photosynthesizes, but it has changed its reproduction. The ball itself is hollow, and the spores are suspended in a sweet-tasting gel. When eaten, the spores travel through the digestive tract. Not all spores survive though. This mechanism allows the sticky fruits to spread faster with this new "spore dispersal".
