Answer:

afruit, the fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a flowering plant, enclosing the seed or seeds. Thus, apricots, bananas, and grapes, as well as bean pods, corn grains, tomatoes, cucumbers, and (in their shells) acorns and almonds, are all technically fruits.

A fruit protects the immature seeds from animals and extreme climatic conditions.

It stores food material.

It attracts animals that help in dispersing or scattering the seeds to distant places.
