Later on , after fertilization , the flower turns in to a fruit and that fruit CONTAINS in side the seeds .

Reply:Fruit yes but not really at all in any traditional sense. Remember the old argument is it a fruit or vegetable?? The seed head is not replaced by any fuit as that release of the seeds and the cotton is the end of the life cycle. If anything you could look at as a nut bearing plant that turns into a very fluffly mouthful of yuck that makes you sound just like the godfarter via MARLON BRANDO..
