Axospermous
Definition
A specialized morphological term describing plants, fruits, or ovarian structures whose seeds or ovules are attached, located, or structurally arranged directly on the central axis (axial placentation) of the carpel cavity. This vegetal geometric configuration delicately protects early-stage embryos and ensures a uniform distribution of nutritional resources during fruit maturation.
