Fruits

The term fruits has different meanings depending on circumstance. In botany, a fruit is the grown ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant. In many varieties, the fruit incorporates the grown ovary and surrounding tissues. Fruits are the means by which peak plants disseminate seeds. when discussing about fruit as food, the term usually refers to those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which include plums, apples and oranges. However, a great many common vegetables, as well as nuts and grains, are the fruit of the plant type they come from. The term "fruit" has also been incorrectly applied to the seed-containing female cones of many conifers.
