All nuts are seeds and an acorn is a nut (which isn't healthy for humans to eat). The seeds most flowering plants produce are essentially like a nut which can become a seedling in the right environment. The method to produce seeds, nuts and fruits/cones (which contain seeds) is sexual reproduction through pollination of a female (part of a) flower by a male (part of a) flower. Pollination of bright and smelly flowers is mostly done by insects while the flowers of an oak tree doesn't attracts as much insects so it's mostly done by wind pollination.
