Detailed explanation-1: -The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. The ovary itself will mature into a fruit, either dry or fleshy, enclosing the seeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -After double fertilization and ripening, the ovary becomes the fruit, the ovules inside the ovary become the seeds of that fruit, and the egg within the ovule becomes the zygote.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ovules at maturity or ripened ovules are known as seeds. Ripened ovary or fertilized ovary is called fruit.
Detailed explanation-4: -A fruit is a mature, ripened ovary, along with the contents of the ovary. The ovary is the ovule-bearing reproductive structure in the plant flower. The ovary serves to enclose and protect the ovules, from the youngest stages of flower development until the ovules become fertilized and turn into seeds.
Detailed explanation-5: -A simple fruit is formed from a flower with one carpel, or multiple carpels fused together so that it looks like just one carpel. The ovary wall surrounding the carpel or carpels ripens into an independent fruit (independent in the sense that it isn’t fused together with other ovaries).
