In dicot seeds the food is mainly stored in
AEndosperm outside the embryo
BPericarp of the surrounding fruit
CColeoptile sheath of the embryo
DCotyledons of the embryo body
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Cotyledons of the embryo body
Most non-endospermic dicot seeds (pea, gram, bean) store food in fleshy cotyledons. Castor is a dicot exception where endosperm persists. Monocot seeds (maize, wheat) store food in endosperm.
