Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endosperm is a nutrient storage tissue found in seeds that contains stored energy to fuel the growth of a young seedling until it reaches sunlight. The cotyledons also contain stored energy, but they are not always present in all types of seeds. The embryo is the future plant itself, but it does not contain stored energy for growth. Photosynthesis occurs after the seedling has emerged and is able to produce its own energy. The seed coat is a protective outer layer of the seed and does not contain stored energy.
