Solution

True fruit:
A fruit that develops from only the ovary part of the flower is known as true fruit.
In these fruits, the ovary wall is changed into a fruit wall or pericarp which surrounds the seeds.
The other floral parts degenerate and fall off.
True fruit contains one or more visible seeds.
