Question

What are the functions of a fruit ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A fruit is the part of a flowering plant that contains the seeds. The fruit may be fleshy like berries, or hard and dry, like nuts. The fruit protects the seeds and also helps to spread them.

Answer 2

Fruit, the fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a flowering plant, enclosing the seed or seeds. Thus, apricots, bananas, and grapes, as well as bean pods, corn grains, tomatoes, cucumbers, and (in their shells) acorns and almonds, are all technically fruits. Popularly, however, the term is restricted to the ripened ovaries that are sweet and either succulent or pulpy. For treatment of the cultivation of fruits, see fruit farming. For treatment of the nutrient composition and processing of fruits, see fruit processing.
