Question

What is the type of fruit found in mango? How does it differ from that of coconut?

Answer 1

A drupe is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part surrounds a shell (pit) with a seed inside, derived from the ovary wall of the flower. These fruits usually develop from one carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries.

Complete answer:
Many drupes, with their sweet, fleshy outer layer, attract the eye of animals as a food, and therefore the plant population benefits from the resulting dispersal of its seeds. The endocarp (pit or stone) is usually dropped after the fleshy part is eaten, but is usually swallowed, passing through the alimentary canal, and returned to the soil surfaces with the seed inside unharmed. This passage through the alimentary canal can reduce the thickness of the endocarp, thus can aid in germination rates. The process is known as scarification.
Freestone refers to a drupe having a stone that can be removed from the flesh with ease. The flesh is not attached to the stone and does not need to be cut to free the stone. Freestone sorts of fruits are preferred for uses that need careful removal of the stone, especially if removal is going to be done by hand. Freestone plums are preferred for creating home grown prunes, and freestone sour cherries are preferred for creating pies and cherry soup.
Clingstone refers to a drupe having a stone which cannot easily be far away from the flesh. The flesh is attached strongly to the stone and must be moved free of the stone. Clingstone sorts of fruits within the Prunus are preferred as table fruit and for jams, because the flesh of clingstone fruits tends to be more tender and juicy throughout.
Tryma may be a specialized term for such nut-like drupes that are difficult to categorize. Hickory nuts (Carya) and walnuts (Juglans) within the Juglandaceae family grow within an outer husk; these fruits are technically drupes or drupaceous nuts, thus aren't true botanical nuts.

Note:
The type of fruit found in mango is a drupe. The coconut is additionally a drupe, but the mesocarp is fibrous or dry (termed as husk), so this sort of fruit is assessed as an easy dry, fibrous drupe. Unlike other drupes, the coconut seed is so large that it is unlikely to be dispersed by being swallowed by fauna, but it can float extremely long distances—across oceans.
