What is the difference between Fruits and

Seeds?
After the fertilization, the ovule becomes the seed
and the ovary becomes the fruit.
Fruits play an important role in the seed dispersal
by attracting the animals.
Without the fruit, the seed can grow in to a new
plant but, without the seeds, the fruit cannot
grow in to a new plant. This is because the
embryo is found inside the seed, and the
embryo is the one that gives rise to a new plant.

2.2.2. Angiosperms (protected seeds)

(80 percent of all the living plant species on Earth)

Monocotyledons (1 seed leaf)

Grains (wheat, corn, rice, millet), lilies, daffodils, sugarcane, banana, palm,
ginger, onions, bamboo, sugar, cone, palm tree, banana tree, and grass are
examples of plants that are monocots.
Dicotyledons (2 seed leaves)
Legumes (pea, beans, lentils, peanuts), daisies, mint, lettuce, tomato and
oak are examples of dicots.
