Google says that carrots are roughly 87% water, while an apple is only 84%. Even the crunchiest apples are not nearly as hard as carrots. With similar water content what exactly makes one seemingly denser than the other?
In: Biology
For starters, ones a root vegetable, and one is a fruit. So, their structures are completely different for what they do. A carrot gives life to the Tops (leafy part above ground), where as the Apple is the product of the tree. Completely different use and storage of water. A carrot would naturally be more robust to store/carry nutrients and water through the plant.
An Apple, doesn’t support the tree. The tree may have less water than an Apple…bet you can’t bite through the tree…
