Answer:
fruit, the fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a flowering plant, enclosing the seed or seeds. Thus, apricots, bananas, and grapes, as well as bean pods, corn grains, tomatoes, cucumbers, and (in their shells) acorns and almonds, are all technically fruits.
Explanation:
A botanical fruit would have at least one seed and grow from the flower of the plant. With this definition in mind, cucumbers are classified as fruit because they contain tiny seeds in the middle and grow from the flower of the cucumber plant. Drupe - has fleshy fruit and a single seed with a hard endocarp eg peaches, coconut and olives.
Berry - has many seeds eg tomatoes, peppers and cucumber but not strawberries!
Aggregate fruit - develop from one flower with many pistils eg strawberries.
Legumes - split along two sides eg beans, peas.
