Pome:
Pome is a type of fleshy fruit that has a thick outer fleshy layer and a central core.
The enormous thalamus becomes an edible portion of the pome, which is continuously formed from an inferior, multicarpellary, and syncarpous ovary.
Several seeds are present at the core, which are surrounded by a hard membrane.
The ovary is encased in seeds.
Apple is a type of pome.
Pepo:
Pepo is a cucurbit fruit with a distinct flavor.
The fruit to be formed is developed from a single ovary.
The inferior tricarpellary syncarpous, single locule ovary containing seeds on parietal placentation produces the fruit.
Pumpkin and cucumber fruits are examples of pepo.
