Detailed explanation-2: -The outer covering of a seed is called the seed coat. Seed coats help protect the embryo from injury and also from drying out. Seed coats can be thin and soft as in beans or thick and hard as in locust or coconut seeds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Peel, also known as rind or skin, is the outer protective layer of a fruit or vegetable which can be peeled off.
Detailed explanation-4: -A fruit is the part of a flowering plant that contains the seeds. The fruit may be fleshy like berries, or hard and dry, like nuts. The fruit protects the seeds and also helps to spread them. Many fruits are good to eat and attract small animals, such as birds and squirrels, who like to feed on them.
