The inside of a conker is made of a seed or nut surrounded by a hard protective shell. The seed or nut is the part of the conker that can grow into a new tree when planted.
My friends and me call them 'cheesies' because they are cheese shaped.
The conker comes in a casing. The casing falls of the tree, opens up and the conker rolls away. An animal, such as a squirrel, will eat conkers and acorns. If the squirrel doesn't eat it then it will store it underground. It buries the conker and fills the hole so nobody will spot it. Unlike dogs they don't have a very good memory. They won't remember where they put their seed so it will grow into a tree.
A conker shell contains the seeds of the horse chestnut tree, scientifically known as Aesculus hippocastanum. These seeds, commonly referred to as conkers, are large, glossy, and brown, typically encased in a spiky green husk. While conkers are often used in children's games, they are toxic to humans and many animals if ingested.
It depends from region to region. Today I collected 204 conkers (South West UK) and the average weight is 14 grams a conker. These conkers were all hand picked to eliminate those with damage from squirrels and abnormal shapes, so only typical round conkers we're used in the weighing process.

yes its the nut of a horse chestnut tree.
A conker, which is the seed of the horse chestnut tree, may never grow into a tree if it fails to germinate. This can occur due to various factors such as unfavorable environmental conditions, lack of adequate moisture, or being eaten by animals before it can sprout. Additionally, if the conker is damaged or diseased, it may not develop into a healthy seedling. Proper planting and care are essential for successful growth into a mature tree.

A conker case is commonly known as a "conker" or "horse chestnut shell." It is the hard outer shell that encases the seed of the horse chestnut tree. In the context of the game played with conkers, the seed is typically removed from the shell and threaded onto a string for play.
