Fruit
Fruit is the sweet, fleshy, edible part of a plant that develops from a flower. It is usually the ripened ovary of a flowering plant that contains seeds. The term is often used to refer to those plant parts that are not woody and can be eaten without removing the rind. Plants bearing berries are said to be baccate. A fruit is often considered to be an ovary with its contents and seeds removed, or a multiple fruit formed from the ovary of a single flower containing several ovules.
In everyday language, “fruit” normally means soft juicy plant parts which have been separated from their stalks and seeds by maturation or cooking. However, in botany and horticulture there is no general agreement on the precise definition of ‘fruit’, nor whether certain soft-bodied plant parts not technically classified as fruits should be designated as such.
Fruits are generally eaten as part of a meal or they may be used in cooking or baking. Many fruits (such as tomato) are commercially grown because they can be eaten fresh as table fruit, while some fruits (such as avocado) must ripen on the tree before they can be consumed. There are also many types of processed.
