Flowering plants produce seeds encased in fruit. Three kinds of fruits are berries, drupes, and pomes. Oranges, grapes, and tomatoes are berries. Their seeds are embedded in the flesh of the fruit. Peaches and plums are drupes.
Drupes have one seed enclosed in a hard case surrounded by flesh.
Apples and pears are pomes. Pomes have several seeds enclosed in a core surrounded by flesh. Different kinds of plants form different amounts of seeds. Some plants form only a few seeds, while others form many seeds. The fruit is the part of a flowering plant that contains seeds.
