FRUITS
Fruits can be divided into three categories

• 1. Simple fruit
• - a fruit formed from a single ovary of a
  single flower (monocarpous or syncarpous ovary)
• 2. Aggregate fruit
• - a fruit formed from several ovaries of
  a single flower (apocarpous) e.g. Anona
• 3. Multiple fruit
• - a fruit formed from the ovaries of flowers
  borne in a compact inflorescence. The fruits
  unite at maturity e.g. jackfruit, pineapple
