Angiocarpic is a term that refers to a type of fruit that is enclosed by a structure formed from the surrounding tissue. Some synonyms for this word include endocarpic, pericarpic, and gynoecial. Endocarpic refers to a fruit that has a hard inner layer that encloses the seed. Pericarpic refers to a fruit that has a thickened wall that encloses the seed. Gynoecial, on the other hand, refers to a type of fruit that is formed from the female reproductive organs of a plant, such as the ovary or the pistil. All of these terms evoke the same concept as angiocarpic and can be used interchangeably to describe similar types of fruits.
