How is the inner slices of an orange is called?

Question

When you peel off an orange you have to take the pieces one by one. Some of the clues which I received (though incorrect/doesnot satisfy me)are: pod,segments, flakes or simply slices.

Answer 1

segments

Answer 2

Definitely segments. One piece of orange is an orange segment.

Answer 3

Not HOW, but WHAT. Answer: Segments. Quite correct. So sorry though if the answer does not satisfy!

Answer 4

If you buy them in a can already cut up, they are called Mandarin Orange Slices, but I have always called them "sections" because to me, a slice would be something you had actually cut, and these look like they have been peeled out of the orange. Perhaps wedges would be a good word to describe them. I have heard lemon pieces being called wedges.
