Fruit
The word ‘fruit’ entirely refers to a seed-bearing structure that is found in flower-bearing plants. Meaning, that it is created from the ovary present in the seed after flowering in a plant occurs. These plants are commonly called angiosperms, which disperse seeds with the help of fruits. This mechanism of generating fruits helps them to reproduce as they disperse seeds through them.
Types of Fruits:
Based on the number of ovaries and the number of flowers included in the fruit formation, fruits are classified into three major classes namely:
Simple Fruits -
A fruit developed from a single matured ovary in a single flower such as an apple, banana, cherry pear, plum, and tomato is called simple fruit. The simple fruits are further classified into the following categories:
- Drupes
- Berries
- Pomes
- Hesperidium and Pepos
Aggregate Fruits -
A fruit developed from a number of matured ovaries formed in a single flower is called aggregated fruit. Individual ovaries are known as “fruitlets.” Some of the examples are Blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry.
Composite Fruits -
A fruit developed from a complete inflorescence is multiple fruit. These are of two types:
- Sorosis
- Syconus
