Question: The fruit of rose is known as
Options:
Bulbs
Hips
Caryopsis
Berries
✅ EXPLANATION:: Hips are the true fruit of the rose plant. Hips are fleshy, oval structures that develop after the petals fall. They contain seeds and are often used in jams, teas, and herbal remedies.
🔹 Bulbs: Bulbs are underground storage organs, commonly found in plants like onions and tulips.
🔹 Caropsis: This is a dry, one-seeded fruit found in grasses and grains. Roses are not grasses, so they do not produce caropses.
🔹 Berry: While some sources classify hips as berries because of their fleshy structure, in botany they are considered accessory fruits. This is because the fleshy part develops from the floral receptacle (hypanthium), not the ovary, which is the defining characteristic of a true berry.
