Write briefly about the types of multiple fruit with example.

Explanation

A Multiple or composite fruit develops from the whole inflorescence along with its peduncle on which they are borne.
Sorosis: A fleshy multiple fruit which develops from a spike or spadix. The flowers fused together by their succulent perianth and at the same time the axis bearing them become fleshy
or juicy and the whole inflorescence forms a compact mass. eg. Pineapple, Jack fruit, Mulberry.
Syconus: A multiple fruit which develops from hypanthodium inflorescence. The receptacle
develops further and converts into fleshy fruit which encloses a number of true fruit or achenes
which develops from female flower of hypanthodium inflorescence, eg. Ficus.
