Multiple fruit
KidzSearch Safe Wikipedia for Kids.
Multiple fruits are fruits that grow from more than one flower (called an inflorescence).[1][2] Each flower in the inflorescence produces a fruit, and then these join together.[3] There are also many multiple fruits that become dry later.
In languages other than English, the meanings of multiple and aggregate fruit are reversed.[4]
