Carica papaya fruit tree. Mountain papaya plant flower. Papaya is a soft tropical fruit with a yellowish-orange color. 
 Carica papaya, the widely cultivated papaya also called papaw or pawpaw.  Carica papaya are sometimes called mugua.
 
The papaya (/pəˈpaɪə/, US: /pəˈpɑːjə/), papaw, (/pəˈpɔː/) or pawpaw (/ˈpɔːpɔː/ is the plant species Carica papaya, one of the 21 accepted species in the genus Carica of the family Caricaceae.  
This species of fruit — which belongs to the Caricaceae family — is round and plump and comes in larger and smaller sizes.

Its taste depends on whether  eating ripe or unripe papaya. When ripe, papaya is sweet and has a flavor comparable to a melon. Unripe papaya, on the other hand, may have little to no flavor.
The papaya is a small, sparsely branched tree, usually with a single stem growing from 5 to 10 m tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk. The lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 50–70 cm in diameter, deeply palmately lobed, with seven lobes. All plant parts contain latex in articulated laticifers.

The flowers are five-parted and highly dimorphic; the male flowers have the stamens fused to the petals. The female flowers have a superior ovary and five contorted petals loosely connected at the base. 

Male and female flowers are borne in the leaf axils; the male flowers are in multiflowered dichasia, and the female ones are in few-flowered dichasia.[citation needed] The pollen grains are elongated and approximately 35 microns in length.[citation needed] The flowers are sweet-scented, open at night, and wind- or insect-pollinated. 

The papaya fruit is a large berry about 15–45 cm long and 10–30 cm  in diameter.   Papaya fruit is ripe when it feels soft (as soft as a ripe avocado or softer), its skin has attained an amber to orange hue and along the walls of the large central cavity are attached numerous black seeds.
