Citrus trees are trees that grow citrus fruits, such as orange, lemon, lime. I don't know how a fruit can help its tree. i am no expert but the fruit can help because as it decomposes it is a natural fertilizer for the tree i have heard that some fruit trees like banana peels on the ground to decompose into fertilizer.
Most citrus trees have thorns on the branches. Lime trees usually have thin branches with thorns, lemons are similar
A lime is the fruit of the lime tree. It is a citrus fruit.

No a lime is a denser and more bitter fruit. Plus they are grown on different types of trees.
No, lime is not a vegetable. Limes are a type of citrus fruit.
No... Because like lemon, it is a citrus fruit and citrus fruits don't flower. P.S orange is NOT a citrus fruit. From Zac Peterson 12 yrs old. :D hope i helped.
There are many species, the genus is Citrus. See link. Citrus aurantifolia = Key lime, C. latifolia = Persian lime (very common).
