Nut that looks like it's wearing a little hat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acorn

(Other definitions for acorn that I've seen before include "Potentially future tree" , "form of seeding" , "Nut of oak tree" , "From which a mighty oak may grow?" , "Dirt on a liquid surface" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
