Those little things (NINA!!! What are they called?) are not fruit. The
actual blosson is inside them, and the tiny wasp must crawl inside to die
and fertilize the plant.

A receptacle? The "fig" is an inside-out stem containing many flowers inside. Each crunch you hear in a fig newton is an individual fruit. Except the crunch that represents the dead wasp.
