Fruit of water chestnut / Trapa is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Drupe
Flowers are produced singly on stalks arising from the centre of the floating rosette of leaves. Each flower is bisexual, bearing a two-chambered ovary, four stamens, and four white petals. Four triangular sepals surround the flower and develop into barbed spines in the mature fruit. The fruit matures into a nut-like, barbed spiny fruit. Although there are two chambers in the ovary, each with an ovule, commonly only one seed per flower develops. The fruit technically is a drupe. So the correct answer is 'Drupe'.
