A fruit is the ripened ovary or ovaries of a flowering plant, potentially along with some other related tissues. Technically the ovary doesn't have to be part of the flower, but in practice, it pretty much always is; the whole point of flowers is to direct pollinating insects to it so that they can pick up pollen from one flower and deposit it in the ovary of another flower. If the ovary weren't in the flower, then there would be no point in having the flower at all.

So the fruit of a flower is called a "fruit".

There are various kinds of fruits: berries, aggregate fruits, accessory fruits, pomes, drupes ... but they're all fruits.
