A type of fruit structure that develops from multiple achenes, sometimes used in botanical descriptions of compound fruits.
From Greek 'achene' (non-splitting fruit) combined with 'karpos' (fruit), describing a composite fruit made up of multiple achene-like components.
Achenocarp is a rare botanical term showing how scientists combine root words to describe nature's creativity—strawberries and raspberries are technically achencarps made of dozens of tiny fruits clustered together.
