Notes:
The Receptacle is the end of the stem or pedicel, a point at which
all the flower parts (sepals, petals, stamens, and pistil) are
held together. The hypanthium is a cup-like structure connecting
the petals,
sepals,
and stamens.
When
you eat
an apple you are primarily consuming the hypanthium. Most angiosperms
or flowering plants have fruits derived from the ovary wall or pericarp.
The ovary wall in an apple becomes the core.
