The cucumber is a creeping vine plant and has more in common with grapes than other vegetables. And the watermelon is part of the cucumber family, just a new species. My uncle was a produce grocer that owned a small market where I helped when I was a kid for spending money, or Christmas money. I was about 9 or 10 I think. He humored me and just paid me for hanging out, but I learned a lot.

I could imagine a more predatory plant sorta doing that to make tasty bait for critters.
Or like “ooh oopsie i dropped this snackey wackey. I hope nobody comes over here so I can put my pollen on them. So that my seed is spread from the animal.”
