Question

Which is nourished by the endosperm?

• A. Seed
• B. Fruit
• C. Andosperm
• D. Fetus

Hint:

Endosperm nourishes the developing embryo (fetus) inside the seed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Endosperm is a tissue produced inside seeds of most flowering plants following fertilization. It provides nutrition, in the form of starch, oils, and proteins, to the developing embryo (fetus) within the seed.
- The seed contains the embryo and endosperm.
- The fruit develops from the ovary and protects the seed.
- Andosperm is not a correct term here.
