Question
Name the type of fruit, apple is categorised under and why? Mention two other examples, which belong to the same category as apple.

Answer

  • Apple is categorised as false fruit, because the thalamus, a part other than the ovary, also contributes to fruit formation.
  • When any part of the flower other than the ovary becomes a part of the fruit, the fruit is said to be a false fruit.
  • The other examples are strawberry and cashew.
