The birds(macaws) boast large, powerful beaks that easily crack nuts and seeds, while their dry, scaly tongues have a bone inside them that makes them an effective tool for tapping into fruits.

Hi Floratang,
Tap into in your sentence means literally that the birds use their beaks to tap into/break into the centre of the fruits.
In a figurative sense tap into can also mean gain access to as in: tap into information available on the internet meaning use that source of information for your benefit.
