Answer: mesocarp
Notes: In peaches, cherries, plums, and apricots, the edible parts are the mesocarp, which refers to the fleshy part of the fruit that surrounds the endocarp. The endocarp, also known as the stone or pit, is the hard, woody layer that encases the seed of the fruit. While the endocarp is not typically edible, the mesocarp is the part of the fruit that is commonly consumed as food.
