Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fruits protect the seeds from external damage. It also helps the seeds to disperse in different areas. Seeds nourish a young plant until it grows into a mature plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the main functions of a fruit is to spread the seeds and allow the plant to reproduce. Therefore, all flowering plants produce fruit, regardless of whether the fruit is edible, sweet, or soft. This means that, although we call peppers and cucumbers vegetables, they are technically fruits (Figure 2).

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant’s ovary is the structure that contains the seed(s). The ovary develops into a fruit to protect the seed(s). Some fruits have only one seed because the ovary has only one ovule. Some fruits have multiple seeds because the ovary contains multiple ovules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two main functions of fruit are to prevent the seeds from drying and to disperse the seed. The fruit may be either fleshy or dry.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, Seed coat, endosperm, and embryo are the three components of a plant seed. The seed coat protects the seed from harm caused by physical, mechanical, temperature, and water. A cotyledon is an embryonic leaf found within a plant’s seed. The embryo is made up of precursor tissues for various plant components.
