Fruit Types
Fruit types can be categorized into several groups based on their structure and development. The main categories include
simple fruits
,
aggregate fruits
, and
multiple fruits
. Simple fruits develop from a single ovary and can be further divided into
fleshy fruits
like
apples
and
berries
, and
dry fruits
such as
nuts
and
legumes
.
Aggregate fruits
form from multiple ovaries of a single flower, like
raspberries
and
blackberries
. In contrast,
multiple fruits
develop from the ovaries of multiple flowers, as seen in
pineapples
and
figs
. Understanding these categories helps in identifying and classifying various fruits.
