The point of attachment of a seed to the fruit wall is called the hilum. This area is where the seed was connected to the ovary wall during development, allowing for the transfer of nutrients. After the seed matures, the hilum remains as a small scar on the seed's surface. It serves as an important marker for identifying the seed's origin and can provide insights into its development.
