Explanation:
After fertilisation, the petals and sepals wither off. The ovary matures in the fruit and the ovule develops into seeds. The integuments of the ovules become the seed coat. The ovary undergoes cell division and transforms into a fruit. The wall of the ovary becomes the outer layer of the fruit called the pericarp. It is the protective layer of the developing seed.
In case of maize, the pericarp is fused with the seed coat so the term maize fruit and maize seed is not used.
hii didu
Maize grain is actually a fruit in which the fruit wall and the seed-coat are fused together to form a protecting layer. Therefore, we call such a fruit as grain.
