The fruit of the peanut plant is the "shell" of the peanut. It is a simple, dry fruit. The peanut is considered a legume, but a legume is a type of simple fruit. The peanut itself, or the delicious part that we eat, is actually the seed of the peanut plant.

So, botanically speaking, the peanut shell is the fruit and the peanut itself is the seed.
