What does a firtelized egg becomes 1a fruit 2a seed 3a leaf?

Here's a way to help you remember this: all eggs are the same, even plant eggs. Think about a chicken egg, like the ones you cook for breakfast. The egg is inside a shell, right? The plant egg is inside a shell too, only sometimes the shell is soft and tasty and called a fruit. Plant eggs grow into seeds, which then grow into new plants, just like a chicken egg would hatch into a baby chicken if a hen sits on it and keeps it warm. Leaves and stems are just parts of the plant, and not part of sexual reproduction - like the chicken's feathers and beak.
