Answer 1

Hint: Fruit is a part of angiosperms or flowering plants. It is the fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a flowering plant. For example – fleshy fruits include berry, mango and dried fruits include dates, apricots, etc.

Complete answer:
Berry:
A berry is a pulpy, small and edible fruit.
A berry is a fleshy fruit that has many seeds. Berries are generally rounded, juicy, brightly coloured, sweet, sour and they do not have a stone or pit.
A berry is derived from the single ovary of a single flower.
 Example – tomato, grape, banana, etc.
Drupe:
A drupe is a fruit in which an outer fleshy part surrounds a single shell with a seed inside.
A drupe is derived from the single ovary of an individual flower.
 Example – cherry, peach, olive, etc.
Nut:
A nut is composed of a hard shell which is inedible and an edible fruit.
In botanical context, in nuts the shell does not open to release a seed, for4 example – chestnuts, hazelnuts, acorns, etc.
Regma:
Regma is a type of dry fruit.
 It consists of two or more cells that separates from the axis at maturity.
Example – castor.
Fruit of Almond:
The fruit of Almond is drupe.
 It consists of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed which is not a true nut from inside.
Therefore, we have seen above that the fruit of Almond is a drupe.

Note:In drupe, the shell can open to release a seed. Other drupes can be mango, walnut, dogwood ,etc.
