What does pineapple mean?

Pineapple is a common name for pineapple and belongs to one of tropical fruits. There are more than 70 varieties, which is one of the four famous fruits in Lingnan.

Pineapple originated in the Amazon River valley of Brazil and Paraguay in South America, and was introduced to China from Brazil in the16th century. Has spread to the whole tropical region. Its edible part is mainly composed of inflorescence axis with increased meat quality and flowers arranged spirally around it. Flowers are usually not strong, and persistent flowers are surrounded by lobes in a cavity in which atrophied stamens and styles are hidden. The fiber of leaves is very tough and can be used in textile, rope making, netting and paper making.

Extended data:

Pineapple has its own special growth habits. Most pineapples have rosette leaves. The base of the leaf cluster forms a leaf tube which can store water. The water needed for the growth and development of this pineapple is not stored in the mesophyll, but in the groove naturally formed at the central growth point of the clustered leaves (that is, the unique rosette-shaped leaf tube). In the growing season, we should often water the leaf tube to keep the soil moist and make the leaf tube have enough water to thrive.
