Detailed explanation-1: -Dear student, Endosperm of coconut contains fat in large quantities. It is present in large quantities than in tuber of potato, embryo of pea and fibers of cotton.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assertion :In Cocos nucifera, coconut water represents the cellular endosperm and the surrounding white kernel represents the free-nuclear endosperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : Endosperm of coconut develops from primary endosperm cell which divides repeatedly to form a triploid endosperm tissue. The endopserm of coconut is made up of coconut water which is free-nuclear stage and white kernal is cellular endosperm.

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: -Two polar nuclei fuse with one male gamete to form an endosperm. The endosperm is the most common nutritional tissue for the developing embryo in angiosperms.
