Seed of Pinus gerardiana

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. The edible part known as 'chilgoza' is the seed of the gymnosperm $Pinus \, gerardiana$ (also known as the chilgoza pine).These plants are commonly found in the dry valleys of the North-West Himalayas and Kashmir. In gymnosperms,seeds are not enclosed within a fruit,so 'chilgoza' is botanically a seed,not a fruit.
