Yes, acorns are the fruit (nut) of an Oak. There are many different variety of Oak, and the acorns are different sizes, shapes, color, etc., depending on which type of Oak (there are hundreds of different kinds of Oaks) they come from and depending on the health of the parent tree.
Oaks are slow growers and usually do not bear acorns until they are about 20 years old. Acorns require stratification to stimulate sprouting. This chilling and soaking simulates the nut sitting on the cold moist ground over the winter. Most white oaks need immediate stratification; species such as the Chestnut oak (Quercus montana) will sprout a root upon falling and must have a suitable substrate for immediate rooting. Many red oak acorns can be stratified for up to two years before sprouting. The life span of oaks typically ranges from 200 to 600 years, with a few species reaching 1,000 years.

Yes It Is. You can tell an Oak tree by it's acorns. Size of the acorns is indicative of its age, weather conditions the past season, etc.
