Detailed explanation-1: -The coconut water from tender coconut represents free nuclear endosperm. The endosperm is initially in its nuclear phase suspended within the coconut water. As development continues, cellular layers of endosperm deposit along the walls of the coconut, becoming the edible coconut “flesh".

Detailed explanation-2: -Assertion :In Cocos nucifera, coconut water represents the cellular endosperm and the surrounding white kernel represents the free-nuclear endosperm. Reason: Endosperm is always completely consumed by developing embryo before seed maturation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Commonly referred to as liquid endosperm. Coconut water from a tender coconut is an example of this process i.e, free nuclear endosperm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The coconut endosperm is a nuclear type.

Detailed explanation-5: -Coconut water from a tender coconut is free nuclear endosperm (made up of thousands of nuclei) and the surrounding white kernel is the cellular endosperm.
