Devil Fruits are fed to inanimate objects, which allows them to become animate objects.

How this happens is not yet explained, but the point is they don't technically grant life. Rather they transform them into animals, so really only the zoan form has life. the object itself doesn't.

This only seems to be possible with Zoan devil fruits, as there are no examples of the other types granting an animated existence.
