Fruit type refers to the classification of fruits based on their structure and development. There are several categories, including simple fruits, which develop from a single ovary, aggregate fruits, formed from multiple ovaries of one flower, and multiple fruits, which arise from the ovaries of many flowers. Each type has unique characteristics and examples. Fruits can also be categorized by their texture, such as fleshy fruits, which have a soft, edible part, and dry fruits, which can be hard or papery. Common examples of fleshy fruits include apples and peaches, while nuts and grains are examples of dry fruits.
