Why is it feminine?

Frutas is feminine because it derives from Latin "fructus" (masculine noun). In the evolution from Latin to Spanish, the feminine form "fructa" (which functioned as a neuter plural in Latin) became the standard form in Spanish and was reinterpreted as a feminine singular noun. Spanish inherited the pattern where -a endings typically mark feminine nouns, reinforcing the feminine gender of this word.
