Having ten compartments or cells, especially referring to the chambers inside a fruit or seed pod.
From Latin 'decem' (ten) + 'loculus' (small chamber, cell) + '-ar' (adjective suffix). Used in botany to describe the internal structure of developing fruits.
When botanists cut open a pepper or apple to study seeds, they count the chambers—a decemlocular fruit has exactly 10 compartments, which helps classify plant families accurately.
