In a botanical sense, the fruits that are harvested and that we consume are fertilized ovaries (from the flower in angiosperms). The fruits give rise to and protect the seeds until the moment of maturity and dispersion, which is when the seed, by some means, leaves the fruit and is viable to perpetuate the species …
