The pod of a legume flower develops from the ovary after fertilization occurs. The ovary, which is located at the base of the flower, contains the ovules that will eventually become seeds. As the ovary matures, it enlarges and transforms into the characteristic pod that contains the seeds.

What part of the carpel does the legume represent?

In legumes, the pod represents the fruit of the carpel. Specifically, it is derived from the ovary of the flower, which develops after fertilization. The legume pod typically splits open when mature, releasing the seeds contained within, which are also formed from the ovules in the ovary.
