Each fruit consists of many individual small fruits or syncarps, with one syncarp and seed per pistil.

The fruit is a syncarp.

Full-grown larvae live in the upper part of the pedicel and in the syncarp, which they reinforce with silk.

After fertilization, each flower develops into a drupe, and as the drupes expand, they become connate (merge) into a multiple fleshy fruit called a syncarp.

After three months, the flower heads develop into a fleshy globular multiple fruit (syncarp) joined by their calyces (each flower becoming a fruitlet containing one seed).

Over generations of breeding, most of the reproductive organs of the pineapple's tight cluster of flowers were persuaded to clump into one sterile mass called a syncarp.

It is, in fact, a compound fruit such as botanists call a syncarp, in which the carpels (that is, the ovaries) have grown together; thus, the great orange-like ball is not one fruit but many.
