Elaiosomes are specialized structures found in some seeds, particularly those of the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae), which contain a nutrient-rich oil. These seeds, often referred to as "elaisome-seeds," have evolved to attract specific insects, such as ants and beetles, that help disperse them by carrying the seeds away from the parent plant to a new location. The elaiosomes are essentially tasty treats for these insects, which are attracted to the nutrient-rich oil, and in return, they help spread the seeds to new areas, allowing the plants to propagate and colonize new environments.
