Fruit is usually an uncountable noun. Oranges, bananas, grapes, and apples are all fruit.
You can refer to an individual orange, banana, etc as a fruit.
However, this use is not common. You usually refer to an individual orange, banana, etc as a piece of fruit.
Don't use a plural form of fruit to refer to several oranges, bananas, etc. Instead you use fruit as an uncountable noun. For example, you say 'I'm going to the market to buy some fruit'. Don't say 'I'm going to the market to buy some fruits'.
