peapod
Legume's elongated husk
A peapod is the elongated green casing that contains peas, split open to reveal the seeds inside.
The word applies to the whole structure—pod and peas together.
By extension, peapod describes things similarly shaped: a peapod boat, two peas in a pod for people who are nearly identical.
