DPericarp tissue around the embryo body
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Endosperm formed after double fertilisation
**Castor is a dicot exception:** its mature seed retains the endosperm as the food-storing tissue (endospermic dicot).
Most dicots store food in cotyledons (non-endospermous).
Coleoptile is a monocot structure.
