Vedclass · Answer

(A) In flowering plants,the ovary develops into a fruit after fertilization,while the ovules develop into seeds. In wheat,the fruit wall (pericarp) is fused with the seed coat. Such a fruit,where the pericarp and seed coat are inseparable,is known as a caryopsis or grain. Therefore,a grain of wheat is botanically classified as a fruit.
