Detailed explanation-1: -A true fruit is a fruit which develops from the mature and ripened ovary post fertilisation. The seeds of the fruit are developed from the ovule which is inside the ovary. The fruit which is developed from any other floral part of the flower along with ovary or without ovary is known as false fruit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fruit is the ripened ovary of a plant containing the seeds. After fertilization, the ovary swells and becomes either fleshy or hard and dry to protect the developing seeds. Many fruits help seeds spread (maple seeds). Many things we call vegetables are really fruits such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans.

Detailed explanation-3: -A simple fruit develops from one single ovary, such as a peach or a tomato (Figure 2D). An aggregate fruit forms from multiple ovaries in a single flower. Strawberries and blackberries are examples of aggregate fruits (Figure 3D).
