Explanation 1. Understanding Geocarpic Fruits Geocarpic fruits are special types of fruits that develop and mature underground. This unique adaptation helps protect the developing seeds from environmental hazards and potential predators. 2. Example: Peanut (Groundnut) The peanut (or groundnut) plant displays this phenomenon. After pollination and fertilization, the floral stalk (also called a peg) grows downwards into the soil where the ovary develops into the fruit below the surface. 3. Why Other Options Are Incorrect • Potato is a modified stem (tuber) that grows underground, not a geocarpic fruit. • Onion is a modified stem (bulb). Its edible portion is not a fruit. • Garlic is also a modified bulb, not a fruit developing underground. 4. Conclusion Since peanut is the only option that produces fruits underground, it is the correct example of a geocarpic fruit.
