   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_(plant_structure)

   Simple fruits are formed from a single ovary and may contain one or many seeds. They can be either fleshy or dry.

   Many common language terms used for fruit and seeds differ from botanical classifications.

   In angiosperms (flowering plants), the term locule usually refers to a chamber within an ovary (gynoecium or carpel) of the flower and fruits. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, fruits can be classified as unilocular (uni-locular), bilocular, trilocular, or multilocular. The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to ...

   Nuts, on the other hand, do not release seeds as they are a compound ovary containing both a single seed and the fruit. Nuts also do not split.
