Question

Give one example of each; dicot endospermic and non endospermic seeds.

Answer 1

Wheat is an example of an endosperm. 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
