🌱 Interesting Notes

• Seedless fruits often arise from parthenocarpy, where fruit develops without fertilization.

• Seeded fruits are essential for biodiversity and natural propagation.

• Many hybrid fruits (like seedless grapes or watermelons) are sterile, meaning they don’t produce viable seeds.
