Describe the structure of the fruit?
Structure of Fruit: True fruit is enclosed by a wall called the pericarp. When well developed and fleshy, it is differentiated (in most fruits) into three distinct parts-an outer epicarps, middle mesocarp and inner endocarp. In the ripe mango the outer, thin and leathery part (peel), which is usually discarded, is the epicarp. The sweet, fleshy part that is edible is the mesocarp, and the innermost hard and woody part that encloses the seed is the endocarp. The nature of these three parts, however, varies in different fruits. In dry fruits, the pericarp is dry, usually papery or woody, and is not distinguishable into the three parts.
