Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants bear flowers for reproduction. Fruits are typically derived from the ovaries of a flower and contain seeds. Seeds give rise to new plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inside the ovary are ovules, or immature seeds. The carpel is therefore a protective cover, creating an optimal environment for the ovules to transform into seeds. In order to develop into a fruit, the carpel must first receive pollen grains successfully.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits. They are the largest and most diverse group within the kingdom Plantae, with about 300, 000 species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flowers in plants carry out the reproductive functions of plants. Male and female gametes are fused to produce the seeds. These seeds bear the fruit which undergoes germination to produce new plant structures. This process of reproduction takes place in the reproductive parts of the flower.
