Unlikely you would be even able to recognize it as fruit.
Probably there are some remnants of seeds and a bit of dark goo inside something that is a basket only after a lot of analysis.
Fruit just doesn't do well underwater for any length of time. Except for being frozen, encased in sap or in volcanic ash, there isn't many ways to preserve the shape of the fruit for thousands of years.
