Answer:
During the formation of the endosperm of angiosperms, double fertilization occurs. this is the main reason for the endosperm to be triploid.
Explanation:
in this process one haploid sperm from the two enters in the embryo sac and then fuse with the the two polar nuclei in which each nuclei is haploid. Therefore, endosperms are triploid in case of angiosperms.
