A fruit is just another name for a plants ovary. The ovary is the female reproductive unit. We call an apple a "fruit", so when we think fruit we think of the whole apple. This is incorrect. You see, a fruit, or an ovary, contains seeds. The core of the apple is the ONLY place that contains seeds. So, technically, the CORE is the fruit. The part we eat is actually the STEM that grew around the ovary to protect it. Apples are considered "accessory fruits".

A banana, however, is all a fruit. We eat the seeds when we eat a banana. Same goes for a kiwi. The whole thing is the ovary.

A peanut is a fruit too. The nut is actually the seed. The outtershell protects the seeds....so the whole thing is a fruit, or an ovary.

Fruit develops out of the blossom on a plant. After a plant flowers, the petals fall off and out of the blossom will form the fruit.

fruits develop from the ovary (i.e fruit is the ripened ovary) & the seeds develop from the ovules.

from the stigma down to the ovary enclosed with the receptacle.
