Parthenocarpy:

Seedless fruits are the result of a biological process called parthenocarpy – the development of a fruit without prior fertilisation. While it is true that this can be the result of human actions, it also happens in nature all the time. Often, it is a combination of both. [“No, there’s nothing wrong with seedless fruits,” James Wong, NewScientist (11 September 2021)]
