Question

Name two plants in which the sepals remain attached to the fruit.

Answer 1

Sepals are leafy structures. They are outermost part of the flower. They cover the tender, closed bud from cold and other injuries during its development. Usually, they are green in colour. However, in many flowers, they are colorful. This increases the attractiveness of flower to insects. Usually, after fertilization, the sepals wither away. However, in some plants, sepals remain attached to the fruit. Examples of plants in which the sepals remain attached to the fruit include raspberry, strawberry, tomato.
