Cotton Boll
A cotton boll is a segmented pod containing 32 immature seeds from which the cotton fibers will grow. This boll is considered a fruit because it contains seeds. An average boll will contain nearly 500,000 fibers of cotton.
The cotton industry generates over $60 billion of business in the US, the greatest of any U.S. crop
I never knew it, but New Mexico is a cotton producer although cotton growing here seems to be in decline.
