ACTIVITY 9: In angiosperms, fruits play an important role in seed dispersal. Plant biologists
recognize different types of fruit, 11 of which are described in the table below. Dried fruits can
be further classified as indehiscent (the fruit/pod does not split open when ripe) or dehiscent
(fruits/pods split open when mature). 51 Examine the provided examples of fruits.
Fruit Type
Description
Example
Category
Simple fruits
Ovary wall and seed coat are fused, one seed;
seed is attached at only one point to the ovary wall
Sunflower

Achene
Ovary wall is thin and fully fused to the seed at all
points; one seed.
Wheat

Walnut
Ovary wall hard or woody but can be separated
from seed, one seed; may have an outer husk
Dry fruits
