Solution

Fruit is found on all angiosperm plants and are produced following the pollination of flowers.The botanical definition of a fruit is an organ that contains seeds, protecting these as they develop and often aiding in their dispersal.
They come in a huge variety of colors, shapes and sizes and only a tiny fraction of all fruits are commonly eaten by humans. They are the product of swollen ovaries and other floral parts inside which the seeds of the plant are grown and stored. Fruits can be fleshy, such as apples and peaches, or they can be dry, for examples fruits such as beans, acorns and walnuts
