Question

In a seed, food is generally stored in which part of seed?

• A. Cotyledons or endosperm
• B. Fruit
• C. Micropyle and Testa
• D. All

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cotyledons or endosperm

The stored food may be found in the following parts of a seed: endosperm, cotyledons, or in the perisperm. The stored food is used to support the embryo during seed germination. When the plant food is stored outside of the embryo in a large endosperm, the seed is called albuminous. When the embryo stores its own food reserve, usually within the cotyledons, the seed is called exalbuminous.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Cotyledons or Endosperm'
