Answer
Fruit — A fruit is the ripened ovary. It is a sweet, fleshy, edible plant part. A fruit contains two parts, a pericarp or fruit wall and the seeds.
Seed — A seed is defined as a fertilized ovule, from which a new plant of the same kind can grow.
Fertilization — The fusion of male and female sex cells (gametes) is called fertilization.
Hilum — Hilum is a scar on the inner concave side of the seed, which marks the place where the seed was attached to the fruit wall.
Dry fruit — A dry fruit is the one in which the pericarp is not pulpy and encloses the seeds. For example, the pea pod.
