A stone, also known as a pit or seed, refers to the hard, often large, and usually oval-shaped structure found within certain fruits. It is located at the center of the fruit and is surrounded by the edible flesh. The stone contains the seed or seeds of the fruit and serves as a protective covering to safeguard the seed during development. Stones vary in size, shape, and hardness depending on the fruit species. Some common fruits with stones include cherries, peaches, plums, and olives. While the flesh of these fruits is consumed, the stone is typically discarded due to its tough and inedible nature.
