Definition
Plural of exocarp; the outermost layer or skin of a fruit, also called the epicarp.
Etymology
From Greek 'exo-' meaning 'outside' and 'karpos' meaning 'fruit,' literally 'outside fruit.' This botanical term emerged in the 18th century as scientists developed precise terminology for fruit structures.
Kelly Says
The exocarp is what makes an apple's skin red or a banana's peel yellow—it's the part that often contains the most concentrated nutrients and protective compounds to shield the seed inside.
