DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The large inner layer of the endosperm that stores nutrients is called the starchy endosperm. The thin outer layer of the endosperm, which is a single layer of cells, is called the aleurone.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endosperm contains the nutrients stored in it. It provides nutrients to the seed in the form of starch, carbohydrates and proteins to support the embryo during germination. It is located below the seed coat.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endosperm controls seed growth and allows transfer of maternal nutrients to the embryo. In certain species, including cereals, the endosperm stores reserves in the form of starch, proteins and lipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -endosperm, tissue that surrounds and nourishes the embryo in the seeds of angiosperms (flowering plants). In some seeds the endosperm is completely absorbed at maturity (e.g., pea and bean), and the fleshy food-storing cotyledons nourish the embryo as it germinates.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mature seeds that store food in the endosperm region during embryonic development are called albuminous seeds or endospermic seeds.
