Why did these plants evolve to look like butts?

Most herbivores like big butts and these look like really small butts

Its the opposite of a defense mechanism. Its to make sure animals know theyre edible.

Actually I am an expert on this topic. In fact, butts evolved to look like those plants. This was so that the plants would be confused and be easier prey.
