What fruit is the genus name "Bromeliad" derived from?

  1. Apple

  2. Pineapple

  3. Berry

  4. Mango

The correct answer is: Pineapple

The genus name "Bromeliad" is derived from the pineapple, specifically from the scientific name for this fruit, which is Ananas comosus. The bromeliad family includes a variety of plants, many of which have unique and ornamental features. Pineapples are a well-known member of this family, and the name reflects the connection between the plants in this genus and their pineapple-producing relatives. Understanding this relationship is essential for recognizing the diversity within the bromeliad family and how certain characteristics and growing conditions apply. The other fruits listed do not have any taxonomical or botanical connection to the term "Bromeliad," making the pineapple the only correct association.
