There are a lot of different things called "pepper".

MOST of them are fruits. For example, black pepper is the cooked, dried, and ground fruit (including seeds) of the plant Piper nigrum, and bell peppers and Chile peppers are both fruits (there are different varieties with varying degrees of "hotness", but bell peppers, ghost peppers, and everything in between are all the same species, Capsicum annuum). Cayenne pepper ( one kind of red pepper) is the ground-up dried fruit of a variety of the same species. A different kind of red pepper is the ripe fruit (sometimes pickled in brine or vinegar) of Piper nigrumagain.

However, white pepper is the seeds (without the fruit) of Piper nigrum, and "pepper dulse" is a kind of seaweed.
