The non-endospermic seeds are also called
​

Answer 1

Answer:

PEA

Explanation:

Endosperm is a food-laden tissue, surrounding the embryo on all sides or either present on one side of the embryo. Depending on its presence or absence, seeds are of two types:

(i) Non-endospermic or exalbuminous seeds:

In these seeds like gram, pea, groundnut, the endosperm is completely consumed by the embryo.

(ii) Endospermic or albuminous seeds:

In monocots and castor bean (dicots), the embryo does not consume all endosperm. So it persists in the mature seed. Such seeds are called endospermic or albuminous seeds. In these seeds, food is stored in the endosperm. In monocot seeds, the membranous covering present around radicle is called as coleorhiza and around plumule is called as coleoptile.

Answer 2

Answer:Endosperm represents the food storing tissue of a seed. It is produced as a result of double fertilisation in angiosperms. ... They are called non endospermic or exalbuminous seeds. So, the correct answer is 'Pea'.
