When any part of a flower other than the ovary, contributes to the formation of fruit, it is called a false fruit, e.g. Apple, strawberry.

When a fruit is formed only by the ovary, it is called a true fruit, - e.g. Tomato, brinjal.

When the ovary transforms into a fruit, without fertilisation, it is called a parthenocarpic fruit, e.g. banana.
