Multiple fruit is also known as (B) Composite fruit. This term refers to a type of fruit that develops from the ovaries of multiple flowers that are closely clustered together. Each flower contributes to the formation of a single fruit structure.

Understanding Composite Fruits

Composite fruits can be seen in examples like pineapples and figs, where the fruit is formed from many individual flowers.

Characteristics of Composite Fruits

  • Formed from multiple flowers
  • Can contain many seeds
  • Often larger and more complex than simple fruits

Recognizing the differences between fruit types helps in understanding plant biology and horticulture better.
