Answer:
In corn, the seed coat (integument) is first fused to the surrounding pericarp (ovary wall) and then disintegrates as the fruit develops. Can you see a hilum or micropyle on the corn fruit? ... Corn seeds (fruits) are considered to be albuminous because endosperm is present when they are mature.
