Types of Fruits:

1. Simple Fruits:  These fruits develop from the monocarpellary ovary or multicarpellary syncarpous ovary and only one fruit is formed by the gynoecium. These can be fleshy or dry.
2. Aggregate Fruits: These fruits develop from multicarpellary 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 fruitlets 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 that in place of 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.
