Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Embryonic plants are nourished by the cotyledons, which are part of the seed that contains nutrients for the developing plant. The seed coat protects the embryo but does not provide nutrients for it. The germ is another term for the embryo itself. Bran is the outer layer of a cereal grain and is not involved in embryonic plant development. The ovary wall surrounds the seed but does not provide nutrients for the embryo. Fruits are the mature ovaries of plants and are not directly involved in embryonic plant nourishment.
