Sarcocarps are a type of fruit that typically have a fleshy exterior and an enclosed seed. The term can also be used to refer to the outer layer of a fruit, which is often juicy and succulent. Some synonyms for sarcocarps include flesh, pulp, meat, and mesocarp. Depending on the context, these terms may be used interchangeably or may carry slightly different meanings. For example, "flesh" often refers to the soft tissue of animals, while "pulp" is typically used to describe the juice and fibrous tissue of fruits and vegetables. Nonetheless, all of these words can be used to describe the edible, fleshy parts of many types of fruits.
