The seed is the part of the nut known as walnut (Juglans spp) that is eaten.

Specifically, nuts are considered fruits. Within the category of fruits, there are hard-shelled and soft-skinned members. Walnuts represent an example of hard-shelled fruits (or nuts) and are composed of a hard outer fruit and an edible inner seed.

A popular example of soft fruits are apples (Malusspp).
