What qualifies something as a fruit?

Answer 1

pretty much all fruit have seeds, so if it has seeds, it qualifies as a fruit Not quite true: figs and pine cones both have seeds, yet neither is technically a fruit. A fruit is the ripened ovary – together with seeds – of a flowering plant.

Answer 2

A fruit develops from an ovary of a flower. A fruit has a seed inside (usually inside; some are more on the surface, like a strawberry) because it developed in a flower's ovule.

Vegetables do no not have seeds inside, because they don't develop directly from a flower.

Answer 3

simple: if it has seeds, its a fruit. exaples: apples, watermellons, lemons, and peaches.

No that is not the correct definition, pumpkin has seeds, capsicum has seeds but they are counted as vegetables.

A vegetable grows in the ground like vines and stuff, but fruits grow in trees,bushes,etc.

Answer 5

A fruit is a fleshy thick structure of a flower bearing plant, containing and protecting the seeds.

Answer 6
