Answer 1

Actually, they are the seeds of a leguminous plant related to peas and beans. The groundnut plant is unique because its flowers growaboveground, yet the pods containing the seeds develop in the soil.

Answer 2

Groundnut is included in' lomentum ' category of fruits.. It is a multiseed fruit.But in case of other fruits they are arise from ovaries of flowers. In case of groundnut there is no flower but there is a pod from which groundnut arises. So it is a pod (lomentum) type fruit.
