Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Endosperm forms the food source for the growing embryo. In maize (Zea mays) the endosperm remains means it is not absorbed by its growing embryo while in peas (Pisum), it is absorbed by the growing embryo and stored in the cotyledons. So, the correct option is C.
