A fruit is a ripened ovary. On the basis of the formation of fruits, they are classified into two types ¬ true fruits and false fruits. True fruits are developed from the ovary only. Banana is a fleshy fruit ¬ berry. It develops from multicarpellary syncarpous superior or inferior ovary. The pericarp of berries is differentiated into epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp (like drupes) but the endocarp is not stony as in drupes. Apple and pear are pome. Pome is a false fruit in which the edible part is thalamus where the true fruit remains embedded. Fig is a composite fruit.
