Detailed explanation-1: -The mesocarp is the mid-layer of pericarp, between the epicarp and the endocarp. The mesocarp is the nutritious, fleshy part eaten between the skin and the seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fleshy part of a fruit is called the mesocarp. It is between the fruit’s skin (exocarp) and the seeds. The juicy yellow part of the mango, for example, is the “fleshy” part of the mango. Usually, when we eat a fruit, we eat the “fleshy” part.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pericarp is composed of three layers: Exocarp-the outermost layer, making up the exterior surface of the fruit. Mesocarp-the tissue located between the exocarp and endocarp. Endocarp-the innermost layer, located just outside the seed coat.

Detailed explanation-4: –Generally, a fruit has three parts-exocarp or the outermost skin/covering, mesocarp or the middle part of the fruit, and the endocarp or the inner part of the fruit. The mesocarp is generally the fleshy and edible part of the fruit. In other cases, the endocarp is the edible part.
