The exocarp, often referred to as the peel or skin, is the outermost layer of tissue found in fruits. It serves as a protective barrier, shielding the fruit's internal structures from physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. The exocarp varies in texture, thickness, and color depending on the type of fruit. In some fruits, such as apples and grapes, the exocarp is thin and easily removed, while in others, like oranges and watermelons, it may be thicker and tougher. The exocarp also contributes to the fruit's appearance and flavor, with its color and texture influencing consumer preferences.
