In botany, infructescence (fruiting head) is defined as the ensemble of fruits derived from the ovaries of an inflorescence.
[1] In some cases, infructescences are similar in appearance to simple fruits.
One example is the infructescence of Ananas, which is formed from the fusion of the berries with receptacle tissues and bracts.
[2][3] The mature infructescence of a grain, such as wheat or maize, is known as an ear.
