The ovary wall of a flower develops into the pericarp of a fruit after fertilization occurs. This structure typically consists of three layers: the exocarp (outer layer), mesocarp (middle fleshy layer), and endocarp (inner layer surrounding the seeds). Together, these layers protect the seeds and aid in their dispersal, while also contributing to the fruit's texture, flavor, and nutritional value.
