in the picture below, on the very left after all the ovarys have fertilised, the stigma and the style degenerate since they are not needed any more.
after this picture, the fruit gets eaten by an animal, which excretes out the seeds with its feces, which means the seed gets the necessary nutrients to grow.
in these two pictures you see that the seeds are in the middle and the fruit outside is due to the plant sending sugars around the seeds. Note where the style and stigma have degenerated (bottom part on the red apple)
credits to savannah and harriet for the two last pictures
