In some plants thalamus contributes to fruit formation. Such fruits are termed as:
- False fruits
- Aggregate fruits
- True fruits
- Parthenocarpic fruit
Solution
A true fruit is one which is developed from the ovary. E.g. Orange, Tomato, Pea.
A false or pseudocarp is one in which other parts of the flower such as the thalamus, receptacle or calyx may also grow and form a part of the fruit. E.g. Apple and Pear.
