The seed is the object from which a new plant can grow, it contains all the beginning nutrients the seedling will need til it can make its own leaves and roots. It is also usually encased in a hard shell to prevent it from being destroyed and/or eaten. The fruit, however, is the food the plant uses to feed/lure animals to eat the fruit and seeds, which will then be spread by that animal.
