Which among the following is not a true fruit ?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Apple
Technically, an apple is not a true fruit. True fruit is a ripened ovary. Apple fruit develops from the thalamus part of the flower. When a fruit develops exclusively from the ovary, it is called a true fruit But, when in addition to the ovary, some other floral parts like tepals, bracts, or thalamus also participate in the formation of the fruit, then such fruit is known as a false fruit.
