Question

Whyis apple called a false fruit? Which part(s) of the flower forms thefruit?

Answer 1

Fruitsderived from the ovary and other accessory floral parts are calledfalse fruits. On the contrary, true fruits are those fruits whichdevelop from the ovary, but do not consist of the thalamus or anyother floral part. In an apple, the fleshy receptacle forms the mainedible part. Hence, it is a false fruit.
