The correct answer is D. Some hairy outgrowth on the pericarp.
A samara is a type of fruit that has a specialized structure called a “wing” or “plume” that helps it disperse. This wing is an extension of the pericarp, which is the wall of the fruit. The wing allows the samara to glide or spin as it falls, helping it travel farther from the parent plant.
On the other hand, a cypsela is a type of fruit that also has a specialized structure, but instead of a wing, it has a structure called a “pappus.” The pappus is a cluster of hairs or scales that helps the cypsela disperse. Unlike the wing of a samara, the pappus is not an extension of the pericarp, but rather a separate structure that is attached to the seed coat.
So, the main difference between a samara and a cypsela is that a samara has a wing-like outgrowth on the pericarp, while a cypsela has a pappus-like outgrowth on the seed coat
it is the cypsela that has me a pappus pericarp pappus means hair like and it has a hairlike outgrowth. but the question was asking about Samara and Samara has an extended pericarp that’s the answer my school is right
