Q. Wheat grain is a :

BHUBHU 2001

Solution:

Fruit is a ripened ovary, which encloses seeds. Fruit is absent in gymnospermic plants because there is absence of ovary, so naked seeds are developed in gymnosperms. The wheat grain is a fuit.
Caryopsis fruits are unilocular and one seeded, in which pericarp (developed from ovary wall) is fused with seed coat. These fruits are present in family-Gramineae e. g., Wheat, rice and maize. So wheat grain is a fruit, in which fruit wall and seed coat is fused together.
Inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers. and mode of distribution of flowers on the shoot system of a plant e. g., Hypanthodium in Ficus.
Bulbil is the special type of leaf like structure and functions as an vegetative reproductive structure e.g. As in Dioscorea.
