pod
Legume's outer shell
A pod is a seed case that splits open when ripe, like those of peas or beans: She shelled the pods into a bowl.
The shape extends to enclosed compartments: an airplane's engine pod, a detachable storage pod, a sleeping pod.
A pod of whales or dolphins is a social group.
In tech, a pod is a small modular unit—a podcast episode, a container in Kubernetes, or a wireless earbud case.
To pod is to produce or remove pods from plants.
