Vedclass · Answer

(C) In mango $(Mangifera 	ext{ } indica)$, the fruit is a drupe. It develops from a monocarpellary superior ovary and is always one-seeded. The fruit wall is differentiated into three layers: $1$. The outer thin skin is the epicarp. $2$. The middle fleshy, edible part is the mesocarp. $3$. The inner stony hard part is the endocarp, which protects the seed. Therefore, the edible part of the mango is the mesocarp.
