Explanation

Pineapple is a perennial monocotyledonous plant having a terminal inflorescence and a terminal multiple fruit. The vegetative meristem produces leaves which becomes and inflorescence meristem. The Pineapple inflorescence contains many small flowers. Each flower has a prominent Bract. The Inflorescence Meristem which produces the Secondary Floral Meristem can revert to a Vegetative Meristem and can produce Leaves instead of Bracts. This forms the “crown” of the Pineapple and can be used to grow a new plant.
