Resembling or having the characteristics of an endocarp, the innermost layer of a fruit wall.
From 'endocarp' + '-oid' (resembling). This botanical term describes structures that look like or function similarly to the inner fruit layer.
Fossilized seeds sometimes have endocarpoid structures that paleobotanists can study to understand how ancient plants reproduced—even after millions of years, that hard inner layer survives.
