Question

Draw a labelled diagram of a succulent fruit.

Hint:

Succulent fruits have three layers: epicarp (skin), mesocarp (fleshy part), and endocarp (encloses seed).

Answer 1

A succulent fruit is a fleshy fruit in which the pericarp becomes soft, juicy, and edible. Examples include mango, tomato, guava, and orange. Diagram:
\begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.1] % Outer layer (pericarp) \draw[thick] (0,0) circle (2cm); \node at (0,2.3) {Epicarp (outer skin)}; % Mesocarp (fleshy part) \filldraw[fill=yellow!30,thick] (0,0) circle (1.5cm); \node at (0,1.7) {Mesocarp (fleshy edible part)}; % Endocarp (inner hard layer) \filldraw[fill=orange!60,thick] (0,0) circle (0.7cm); \node at (0.8,0) {Endocarp}; % Seed \filldraw[fill=brown!80] (0,0) circle (0.3cm); \node at (0,-0.6) {Seed}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{center}
