A nut may be defined as a one-seeded fruit with a hard pericarp (ripened ovary wall). One or several nuts may sit in a cup-shaped structure called an involucre. In oaks (Quercus) the involucre is composed of small scales and the entire structure (involucre plus nut) is called an acorn.hese false nuts are really the seed-bearing, hard, inner layer (endocarp) of a fruit called a drupe. In dry drupes the outer layer or husk sometimes splits open or withers. This outer husk is part of the ovary wall (pericarp), and the hard inner wall surrounding the seed represents the inner part of the pericarp.
