From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original
Reason
Excellent diagram illustrating the parts of a fruit and of a stone fruit in particular.
Proposed
A peach is a typical stone fruit, having a single large seed in the center that contains the embryo. The innermost layer of the floral ovary (the endocarp) fuses to the exterior of the seed, creating the hard "stone" in the center on such fruits. The outer layer of the ovary becomes the skin of the peach (exocarp).
