    Question: Edible Part of Litchi?

    Options:

    Endosperm
    Mesocarp
    fleshy aril
    Placenta

    ✅ EXPLANATION:: The edible part of the litchi fruit is the fleshy aril. The aril is a fleshy outgrowth that develops from the seed coat (testa) and surrounds the seed. In litchi, the aril is white, translucent, and juicy, with a sweet and slightly acidic flavor.

    📌Other Options and Explanations:
    🔹 Endosperm: Endosperm is the nutritive tissue that surrounds the embryo in a seed. In litchi, the endosperm is a thin, papery layer and is not edible.
    🔹 Mesocarp: Mesocarp is the middle fleshy layer of a fruit. In litchi, the mesocarp is thin and leathery, not suitable for consumption.
    🔹 Placenta: The placenta is the attachment point where the seed attaches to the ovary wall. In litchi, the placenta is not developed or fleshy, and hence is not edible.
