Answer 1

Heya Mate ❤

Answer...

Endospermic seeds :

Endospermic seeds are those that have an endosperm in the mature seed. It is fleshy, oily, surrounds the embryo, and functions as the sole food storage organ. Inside the seed coat, a thin and papery cotyledon is present. Monocot plants have endospermic seeds.

Non endospermic seeds :

In non-endospermic seeds, the embryonic leaves (called cotyledons) take up most of the space in the seed and these cotyledons become filled with the material that will nourish the growing embryo. Thus, their food is not within the seed, but within the cotyledon. Peas and squash are example of non-endosperms.
