Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In some seeds, the endosperm persists in the seed as food storage tissue. such seeds are called endospermic or albuminous, e.g., Castor, Maize, Wheat, Barley, rubber, coconut. In others the endosperm is completely eaten up by growing embryo. The food for later development of embryo is then stored in cotyledons which become massive. Such seeds are non-endospermic or ex-albuminous, e.g., pea, gram, bean, groundnut.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
