Editing Accessory fruit (section)

== Examples ==
=== Apples and pears ===

The part of apples and pears that is consumed is, in fact, the [[hypanthium]]. The ovary is the papery core that surrounds the apple seeds. As the hypanthium ripens it forms the edible tissues.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Michaels |first=Tom |last2=Clark |first2=Matt |last3=Hoover |first3=Emily |last4=Irish |first4=Laura |last5=Smith |first5=Alan |last6=Tepe |first6=Emily |date=2022-06-20 |title= The Science of Plants  |chapter=8.1 Fruit Morphology |chapter-url=https://open.lib.umn.edu/horticulture/chapter/8-1-fruit-morphology/ |language=en}}</ref>

=== Roses ===
For roses, the hypanthium is the tissue that composes the edible part of [[Rose hip|rosehips]]. Roses and apples are both members of the Rosaceae family; the fact that they have similar fruit morphology is a major consideration in placing them in the same taxonomic family.<ref name=":0" />

=== Strawberries ===

The edible part of the [[strawberry]] is formed, as part of the ripening process, from the receptacle of the strawberry flower. The true fruits (hence, containing the seeds) are the roughly 200 pips (which are, technically, [[achene]]s, a true fruit that contains a single seed from a single ovary). These pips dot the exterior of the strawberry.<ref name=":1" />

=== Cashew apple ===

The [[cashew apple]] is an oval- or pear-shaped structure that develops from the [[Pedicel (botany)|pedicel]] and the receptacle of the cashew flower and is technically called a [[hypocarpium]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Varghese |first1=T. |last2=Pundir |first2=Y. |year=1964 |title=Anatomy of the pseudocarp in ''Anacardium occidentale'' L. |journal=Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Section B |volume=59 |issue=5 |pages=252–258 |doi=10.1007/BF03052341 |s2cid=83230755}}</ref><ref name="duke">{{cite web |author1=James A Duke |date=1983 |title=''Anacardium occidentale'' L. |url=https://hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Anacardium_occidentale.html |access-date=10 December 2019 |publisher=Handbook of Energy Crops.

=== Pineapple ===

The pineapple is formed when 50 to 200 unpollinated flowers coalesce in a spiral arrangement— the flowers form individually and then fuse as a single '[[multiple fruit]]'. The ovaries develop into berries and the fruit forms around an intercalary spike. The intercalary [[inflorescence]] (cluster of flowers) results when the terminal cluster of flowers are left behind by the growth of the main axis of the plant. Each polygonal area on the pineapple's surface is an individual flower.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Plant Details – Information about Ananas comosus Plant |url=https://www.efloraofgandhinagar.in/plant-details.php?cateUrl=herb&plantUrl=ananas-comosus |access-date=2023-03-18 |website=efloraofgandhinagar.in}}</ref>
