The plant in the picture above and its closest relatives are collectively called water lilies and all are floating aquatic plants found in fresh water ponds only .

They require full sunlight and plenty of water ( With sufficient depth) in the pond .

Nymphoea and Nelumbium are the two distinct Genera of water lilies .

Both of them produce fruits ( All flowering plants are fruit producing as well !).

Out of the two mentioned above the genus Nelumbium ( Also called Nelumbo ) produces fruits that are edible !

The fruits (A single flower produces many tiny fruit lets) are edible and nutritious. The taste is more like that of peanuts or ground nuts .  

The central portion of the flower in the picture above develops in to a collection of tiny fruit- lets .

Technically, a lotus is a flower producing plant, and all flowers produce fruits.  What you're looking for is a fruit edible to humans.

Try the Diospyros lotus, which produces the date-plum fruit, a type of persimmon.

All the lotus produce the fruit and seed if the required conditions for it are fulfilled.
