Vedclass · Answer

(C) Fruits are broadly classified into fleshy fruits and dry fruits based on the nature of the pericarp. In fleshy fruits,the pericarp is thick,fleshy,and differentiated into epicarp,mesocarp,and endocarp (e.g.,mango,orange,guava). In dry fruits,the pericarp is thin,dry,and not differentiated into distinct layers. Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is a type of dry fruit (specifically a legume or pod) where the pericarp becomes dry and hard at maturity. Therefore,groundnut is not a fleshy fruit.
