  A nut is a hard, dry
fruit containing a seed of a tree, and an acorn is the
type of nut produced by oak trees. Nearly every natural
forest in Iowa contains at least one or two species of
oak, and their acorns are extremely important. These
acorns grow into baby oaks and maintain the oak forest.
They are also a source of food for nearly 100 different
animals, such as wood ducks, grouse, turkeys, quails,
blue jays, raccoons, squirrels, and deer. |
