Simple Fruit

Simple fruits come from a single ovary that has one or more carpels. They can be either fleshy or dry. Fleshy fruits are common and edible, they're like the fruits a shopper would find at a grocery store, like pome fruits, for example an apple like the one in the picture. Dry fruits can be split into two kinds, dehisecent, which crack open and drop seeds when ripe, and indehiscent, which keep their seeds and do not crack open when ripe.
