E) If the assertion is false but reason is true
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Samara is an achenial fruit having winged pericarp, e.g. Ulmus (Elm). Achenial fruits are single seeded indehiscent dry and simple fruits. Achenial winged fruits are called samaroid if the wings develop from places other than pericarp, e.g., sepals in Shorea.
