What is a Multiple Fruit?
A multiple fruit or composite fruit develops from an entire inflorescence i.e., from a cluster or group of flowers into an entire fruit. Each of the flower produces a fruit, but these all mature into a single mass to form the composite fruit. In simple words we can say that - Fruits of individual flowers closely packed to form a single fruit.
