FRUIT, in botany, is properly that part of a plant wherein the seed is contained; called by the Latins fructus; and by the Greeks σπόριον. The fruit in the Linnæan system is one of the parts of fructification, and is distinguished into three parts, viz. the pericarpium, seed, and receptacle or receptaculum seminum. See BOTANY.
