Answer:
The caruncle is a structure present in the micropylar region of Euphorbiaceae seeds.
Explanation:
The caruncle is a white spongy bi-lobed outgrowth present near the narrow end of the seed. It partially covers the hilum (dark scar) and completely covers the micropylar (small pore).
The caruncle absorbs water that percolates through the micropyle into the seed.
This structure has the ecological function of promoting seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory).
The juicy edible part in litchi on the seed surface is aril and a small corky outgrowth somewhat whitish in colour formed at the micropyle of the seed is known as a caruncle.
