A fruit-bearing plant is a type of plant that produces fruits, which are the mature ovaries of flowering plants. These fruits often contain seeds and develop from the fertilized flowers. Common examples of fruit-bearing plants include apple trees, tomato plants, and strawberry bushes. Fruits serve various purposes, such as attracting animals for seed dispersal and providing nourishment for humans and other organisms. They can be classified into different categories, including berries, drupes, and pomes, based on their structure and characteristics. Understanding these plants is essential for agriculture and gardening.
