Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In botany, a fertilized, fully-grown, and ripened ovary is a fruit. As the seed develops, the walls of the ovary in which it forms thicken and form the fruit, enlarging as the seeds grow. Many foods commonly-called vegetables are actually fruit.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carpels are the last organs formed by the floral meristem and harbor the ovules that after fertilization develop into seeds.
