 🔑Key PointsPseudocarp fruit (false fruit) is a fruit in which some of the flesh is not derived from the ovary but from some adjacent tissues exterior to the carpel. Pseudo fruit is also called false fruit or pseudocarp/ accessory fruit.
Examples of such fruits are strawberry, pineapple, mulberry, apples, pears burdock, etc. 🛑Additional InformationFruits that grow from a fertilized ovary are Eucarpic. A true fruit or escarp is an ovary that is nascent or developing, formed after fertilization, such as mango, maize, grape, etc.
Parthenocarpic are the fruits where the ovules do not fertilize and contribute to seedless fruit development. For example, bananas.
Composite fruits are those which grow from an entire inflorescence. False fruits are all composite fruit. Usually, there are many ovaries and other floral parts that join in these fruits to form the fruit.
