As I see it, English has the word fruit twice.

Once as a sweet fruit.

And once as anything that is produced to hold the seeds. Hazelnut is the fruit of the hazelnut tree. Mushroom is the fruit of the mycelium. Pinecone is the fruit of the pine.

Also fruits of your labour somewhere.

The botanical definition of fruit is the ripened ovary of a flower.
