Question

The fibrous husk of the coconut fruit develops from which part of the flower?

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant Reproduction and Fruit Development
	**Related Topics**: Flower structure, Fruit anatomy, Seed dispersal
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant reproductive parts and fruit formation.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	We need to identify the origin of the coconut's fibrous husk.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. **Understanding Fruit Development**:  A fruit develops from the ovary of a flower after fertilization. Different layers of the ovary wall contribute to different layers of the fruit.
	2. **Coconut Husk**: The husk is the outermost layer of the coconut fruit, providing protection and buoyancy. This fibrous layer is derived from the outer part of the ovary wall.
	3. **Relating to Flower Parts**: The ovary wall is part of the pistil, the female reproductive structure of the flower. It surrounds and protects the ovules, which develop into seeds after fertilization.
	Result: The fibrous husk of the coconut develops from the ovary wall.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] Petals :x: Petals are colorful and attract pollinators. They do not contribute to fruit formation.
[B] Sepals :x: Sepals protect the developing flower bud and are usually green. They are not involved in fruit development.
[C] Ovary wall ✓: The ovary wall develops into the fruit wall (pericarp), including the fibrous husk in coconuts.
[D] Stamen :x: Stamens are the male reproductive parts of the flower (producing pollen). They are not involved in fruit formation.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing the different parts of the flower: Review the basic structure and function of each part (sepals, petals, stamens, pistil).
		2. Misunderstanding fruit development: Remember that the fruit originates from the ovary.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Associate the fibrous husk with protection and buoyancy, linking it to the function of the ovary wall in protecting the developing seeds.
		2. Visualize the coconut fruit and its layers, connecting the husk to the outer part of the ovary wall.
