It's an endosperm...
Double fertilization in angiosperms.
Double fertilization
The membrane invagination hypothesis assumes that the prokaryotic cell membrane folded in on itself so thmbrane was formed. This double membrane is common in the organalles of eukaryotic cells. The DNA becomes attached to one such infolding resulting in a presursor of the nucleus. Later this infolding enclosed DNA within interacellular sac forming the primordial nucleus.

In the S phase before mitosis, the chromosomes duplicate into sister chromatids before spearating during mitosis. The number of chromosomes remainds diploid because they double before they are halved.

Double fertilization
In double fertilization, one sperm reaches the egg and fertilizes it. This produces a diploid zygote that will grow into the plant embryo. A second sperm fuses with the endosperm nuclei in the embryo sac and produces the triploid endosperm. This will nourish the developing seedling.
The fusion of a male gamete with secondary nucleus is called double fertilization and it results in the development of endosperm which nourishes the developing embryo inside the seed. Thus without double fertilization nourishment of developing embryo will be hamphered.
For plants, that is a process called double fertilization. After this process, the primary endosperm (3n) developed to form the fruit that covered and protected the seed(2n). The primary endosperm is the result of fertilization of one male gamete and two polar nuclei in the ovary. Thus, it is triploid.
The Generative nucleus arrives at the embryo sac inside the ovule and undergoes division to produce two haploid male nuclei. One of the male nuclei fuses with the haploid female gamete nucleus and for a diploid zygote. The other Male nuclei fuses with 2 polar female gametes to produce the triploid nucleus. This is known as the endosperm nucleus and it acts as a food source for developing zygote.
A single pollen grain has 2 sperm. Double fertilization occurs when 1 of these sperm combines with the egg, and the other sperm combines with a cell (this is called endosperm) That is in order for the seed to keep being produced.Seed has to be germinated, and without the extra sperm (double fertilization) the plant couldn't germinate and would go extinct.
Double fertilization + syngamy occurring in angiosperms is called triple fusion.
