Types of Fruits:
1. Simple Fruits: These fruits develop from the monocarpellary ovary or multi carpellary syncarpous ovary and only one fruit is formed by the gynoecium. These can be fleshy or dry.
2. Aggregate Fruits: These fruits develop from the multi carpellary apocarpous ovary. Because in the apocarpous ovary, each carpel is separated from one another, therefore it forms a fruitlet. These fruits make a bunch of fruitless which is known as etaerio. For example, strawberry, raspberry, etc.
3. Composite Fruits: All composite fruits are false fruits. This type of fruit differs from aggregate fruit in that in place of a single ovary many ovaries and other floral parts combine together to form fruit. In composite fruits, generally, the whole inflorescence is modified into a fruit. For example, Jackfruit, Ficus.
