The fruit is a fleshy seed-associated structure of a flowering plant. Fruits are the means by which many plants disseminate seeds. In fact, “seed” is a misnomer, as actual seeds are microscopic, while fruits are what we commonly eat.
Most fruits in nature are sweet and edible, but some fruits are sour or bitter. The endocarp forms the hard shell that surrounds the seed. The most common types of fruits are berries; they are often sweet, with a lot of juice and soft pulp. A fruit is also a reproductively mature ovary or other structure of certain plants that contains its seeds and usually other structures to allow it to be dispersed by animals or wind (angiosperms). Other kinds of plant reproductive parts can produce fruit besides flowers and ovaries; these generally produce smaller (less than 10 mm diameter), harder fruits covered in spines or bristles, such as pine cones and acorns.
