                                Botanically, fruits with a single hard 'stone' or pit inside are known as drupes. This category includes many popular items such as peaches, plums, and cherries, but also some surprises like coconuts and olives. These fruits are characterized by a fleshy outer layer and a hard pit that protects the seed within.
