The correct Answer is:
To determine which fruit has an edible seed coat, we can analyze the options provided: pineapple, pisum (pea), pomegranate, and cerium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Seed Coat**: The seed coat is the outer protective layer of a seed. It consists of two layers: the outer layer called the testa and the inner layer known as the tegmen. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Pineapple**: The edible part of a pineapple is the fleshy fruit, not the seed coat. - **Pisum (Pea)**: In peas, the edible part is the pod and the seeds inside, not the seed coat. - **Pomegranate**: Pomegranates have seeds that are surrounded by a fleshy aril, which is part of the seed coat. The arils are juicy and edible. - **Cerium**: This is not a commonly known fruit, and it does not have an edible seed coat. 3. **Identify the Correct Option**: Among the options, the pomegranate is unique because the seed coat (specifically the aril) is edible. The fleshy arils surrounding the seeds are what people consume. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **pomegranate**, as it is the only fruit listed where the seed coat (aril) is edible. ### Final Answer: The edible part is the seed coat in **pomegranate**. ---
