The fruit is broadly divided into the pericarp which is the various covering layers of the fruit and the seed or seeds which are present inside it. The pericarp of a fruit can be further divided into:

$\sf\red{⟶}$Exocarp– It is the outermost layer which is formed from the outer layer or the epidermis.

$\sf\red{⟶}$Mesocarp– Is the second or the middle layer which is often juicy and varies in thickness in different fruits.

The seed coat is present all over the seed except for a small pore called as the micropyle which the where the new plant will germinate on finding a favorable environment.

$\sf\red{⟶}$The cotyledons - Monocots contain a single cotyledon whereas the dicots contain two cotyledons.The two cotyledons act as appendages and help in absorption of food from the endosperm.

$\sf\red{⟶}$Endosperm – It is a triploid tissue that is formed by the fusion of one of the male nuclei(haploid) and the vegetative nuclei(diploid). The endosperm functions to provide nutrition to the developing embryo
