Which part of the plant do we eat from the vegetables and fruits we usually eat?

1. Vegetables

1. Root vegetables: Vegetables with hypertrophied roots as product organs belong to this category.

Such as radish, carrot, root mustard, rutabaga, turnip, horseradish, parsnip, etc.

2. Stem vegetables: vegetables with fat stems as products.

For example, there are lettuce, wild rice, stem mustard, kohlrabi (kohlrabi), etc.

3. Leafy vegetables: vegetables whose products are fresh leaves and petioles.

Such as Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, black cabbage, sprouts, kale, shepherd's purse, spinach, amaranth, apricots, beets, lettuce, chrysanthemum, celery, etc.

2. Fruit: fruit part.

The pistil of angiosperms is an organ developed through the participation of the ovary or other parts of the flower (such as receptacles, sepals, etc.) after pollination and fertilization. Fruit generally consists of two parts: peel and seeds. The peel can be divided into exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp.

Extended information:

The basic structure of the fruit:

1. The structure of the real fruit

The structure of the real fruit is relatively simple. The outer part is the peel and the inner part is the seeds. The pericarp is developed from the ovary wall and can generally be divided into three layers: exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp. The exocarp often has stomata, cuticle wax and epidermal hairs. The three layers of peel vary in thickness, depending on the type of fruit. Some are mixed with each other and difficult to distinguish.

2. The structure of false fruit is more complex than that of real fruit. In addition to the ovary, other parts of the flower (such as the receptacle, calyx, corolla and even the entire inflorescence) are involved in the formation of the fruit. Therefore, its structure is more complex than that of a real fruit. In addition to the peel part developed from the ovary wall, there are also other components of the flower.
