schizocarp
A schizocarp is a type of dry fruit produced by certain flowering plants that splits into separate one-seeded sections (called mericarps) at maturity, but while still inside the plant. However, these mericarps remain attached to one another and do not separate completely, like they would in other types of fruits. Examples of plants that produce schizocarps include members of the carrot or mint families.

Schizocarp
A schizocarp is a dry fruit that, when mature, splits up into mericarps. There are different definitions: ⁕Any dry fruit composed of multiple carpels that separate. ⁕Indehiscent, such as in the carrot or in members of the genus Malva, or ⁕Dehiscent, for example members of the genus Geranium. This is similar to what happens with a capsule, but with an extra stage. ⁕Any fruit that separates into indehiscent one-seeded segments, such as a loment, Malva, Malvastrum, and Sida.
