What is a simple fruit?

Answer 1

As the name "simple" suggests, the fruit's development is thought to be simple; it begins as a single flower with a single pistil and either a simple or compound ovary; it can be either a fleshy fruit or a dry fruit.

Clara Atchley

A simple fruit develops from the ovary of a single flower and typically contains only one seed or a few seeds. Examples of simple fruits include berries (e.g., tomatoes, grapes), drupes (e.g., peaches, cherries), and pomes (e.g., apples, pears). These fruits develop from a single ovary and are not formed from the fusion of multiple ovaries or other flower parts.
