Answer:

Explanation:

The word 'mono' stands for single and 'adelphous' in biology means growing of the stamens in a bundle. Since, here we have one bunch or a single bundle, it is termed as monoadelphous.

The word 'syn' means united and 'carpous' indicates the carpels. So, syncarpous is the term used to describe fused carpels
