What are the structural modifications of a fig?

Figs exhibit several structural modifications that enhance their reproductive success. The most notable is the syconium, a unique fleshy receptacle that houses numerous small flowers on the inside, allowing for a high density of seeds. Additionally, figs have a specialized pollination mechanism involving fig wasps, which enter the syconium to pollinate the flowers and lay their eggs, creating a mutualistic relationship essential for both the fig and the wasp. The thick, often sweet skin of the fig also aids in attracting animals for seed dispersal.
