DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Viviparous germination is one in which a seed germinates inside the fruit while it is still attached to the parent plant. This type of germination is seen in species of Rhizophora (mangroves).

Detailed explanation-2: -This phenomenon occurs most frequently on ears of corn, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, pears, citrus fruits, and plants that grow in mangrove environments. In some species of mangroves, for instance, the seed germinates and grows from its own resources while still attached to its parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Citrus fruits, tomatoes, avocados, corn, and other fruits with seeds often form inside the fruit when it is overripe and has enough moisture for germination. On occasion, seeds will begin to grow inside the fruit.
