Ture Fruits | Fruit which is derived only from the single ovary of a single flower and in the development of which no other part outside the ovary has taken part is called the true fruit e.g. Mango. |
False Fruits | When apart from the ovary other floral parts also tak part in the formation of fruit, it is called as false fruit. e.g. Apple, Banana and Strawberry. |
Simple Fruits | A simple fruit is one in which ovary takes part in development e.g. Bean, Mustard, Citrus. |
Aggregate Fruit | In an aggregate fruit each free carpel develops independently to form a bunch of fruits e.g. Strawberry, Custard apple. |
Composite Fruit | A composite or multiple fruit develops from an inflorescence by the fusion of flowers and their parts e.g. Pineapple. |
