Explanation:
False fruit is a fruit in which some of the fleshy is not derived from the ovary, but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel, thalamus.
Examples - Apple, Pineapple, Strawberry, Pears.
- In an apple, the fleshy receptacle forms the main edible part. Hence, it is a false fruit.
- In the strawberry, the flower has many separate carpels embedded on the flower base or receptacle. The fleshy part of the strawberry is solely made from receptacle tissue, so it is a false fruit.
