Seeds and fruit and how they travel, sentence 12

A fruit is the part of a plant that grows from the flower and holds the seeds, so tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and pea pods are fruits to a scientist, though cooks call them vegetables; cut an apple across and you find a star of seeds.

Who acts: fruit, plant, tomatoes, cooks, you · What happens: be, grow, hold, call, cut, find · To what, where: part, flower, seeds, fruits, pods, apple · Speech: someone speaks here
