Solution
The correct option is B Fruit
- Groundnut produces lomentum fruits which s a type of indehiscent legume fruit that breaks apart at constrictions occurring between segments so that each segment contains one seed. It is a type of schizocarp.
The fruit is geocarpic and thus ripens inside the soil itself. The pericarp of the fruit is hard but the seeds are edible. Root, stem and leaf of groundnut are not edible.
