The mesocarp is the middle layer of tissue found in the fruit of flowering plants. It is located between the exocarp, which is the outer skin or peel, and the endocarp, which is the innermost layer surrounding the seeds or core. The mesocarp's composition and characteristics vary depending on the type of fruit. In some fruits, such as peaches and plums, the mesocarp is fleshy and juicy, providing the main edible portion of the fruit. In other fruits, such as mangoes and avocados, the mesocarp may be fibrous or buttery, contributing to the fruit's texture and flavor. The mesocarp plays a crucial role in protecting the seeds and promoting seed dispersal, as well as providing nutrients and water storage for the developing seeds.
