Fruit Anatomy

Fruits are the ripened ovaries and adjacent tissues of plants, which are often fleshy, juicy, sweet, and aromatic.

Some examples of fleshy fruits are citrus fruits like orange and calamansi, grapes, bananas, mangoes, etc.

Dry fruits are fruits that develop when the ovary opens at maturity.
