If flowers are fertilised to make seeds then how can peanuts be underground but peanut flowers above ground?

If uncooked raw peanuts planted in the ground would produce a peanut plant which is a bush and if the peanut plant is fertilised in the flower

From a fertilised flower above ground to to a underground peanut pod for reproduction is a very far distance for a single fertilised cell to travel

Supposedly something called a peg grows from the fertilised flower to reach the undergrpund

@shortstories peanut flowers are unique because they’ll become what are known as pegs after being fertilized and will shoot down into the ground to then separate and sprout.
@shortstories more importantly is that peanuts are actually just goyfeed to keep us from wanting cashews, which have an apple fruit we can’t have.

Cashews seem at least twice as exoensive as peanuts if not more and I am talking about the nuts not any fruit if they have fruit also and I am not claiming cashews have fruit but you called it fruit instead of nuts

I kind of assumed that if a plant grows fruit then it does not grow nuts and vice versa although I do not know if nuts are a kind of fruit according to biologists

I guess biologists consider nuts to be a kind of fruit but regular speakers of American English do not

@shortstories most of nomenclature in botany is just throwing words around.
