Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms are flowering plants. They make up around 80 percent of all the living plant species on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the seed develops, the walls of the ovary thicken and form the fruit. The seed forms in an ovary, which also enlarges as the seeds grow. In botany, a fertilized and fully grown, ripened ovary is a fruit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Angiosperms have developed flowers and fruit as ways to attract pollinators and protect their seeds, respectively. Flowers have a wide array of colors, shapes, and smells, all of which are for the purpose of attracting pollinators. Once the egg is fertilized, it grows into a seed that is protected by a fleshy fruit.

Detailed explanation-5: -Angiosperms are vascular plants with stems, roots, and leaves. The seeds of the angiosperm are found in a flower. These make up the majority of all plants on earth. The seeds develop inside the plant organs and form fruit. Hence, they are also known as flowering plants.
