Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The female reproductive part of a flower that generally develops into fruit is called the ovary. Fruit tissues that surround seeds generated from the ovary are known as pericarps. The flower’s egg-bearing component that matures into a seed is called an ovule. As a result, Fruit Is Produced By The Plant’s Ovary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fruits are the mature and ripened ovaries of flowers [1]. The first step in fruit growth is fertilization of the carpel. Then, a fruit arises from a series of transformations that occur during the development of the fertilized carpel, resulting in the ovary of the flower maturing and ripening.
