apple is not a true fruit ^^
Learned this in williams Biology class last tuesday ^^
The edible part of apple is the receptacle which turns fleshy, juicy and colourful. If we cut the fruit then we can see a clear demarcation of the inner fruit which is a true fruit in botanical terms. Botanically a fruit is developed from the ovary and seeds from the ovule. In case of apple, real botanical fruit is deep inside the fleshy thalamus. So the edible part cannot be called as a botanical fruit. The inner fruit is a true fruit while the outer fleshy part cannot be called as true fruit in botanical terms.
