Iodine gets in the 3D structure of the starch (which is the main ingredient of maize endosperm) and becomes purple.
Seed coat, micropyle, endosperm and embryo are major parts of a seed. The seed coat protects, micropyle allows water to move in, endosperm nourishes the embryo and on germination a new plant emerges from the embryo.
The starchy food that feeds a developing seed is endosperm. Endosperm is a tissue found in seeds that provides nutrients to the developing embryo, enabling it to grow and develop into a new plant.
Seed coat: This is the protective outer covering of a seed. Embryo: The embryo is the young, developing plant contained within the seed. Endosperm: The endosperm is a nutrient-rich tissue that provides food for the growing embryo.
The three main parts of an angiosperm seed are the seed coat, the endosperm, and the embryo. The seed coat provides protection for the embryo, the endosperm serves as a source of nutrients for the developing seedling, and the embryo contains the future plant in a dormant state.
Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous seeds have the following basic structures in common:The Seed coat or testa, protects the embryo against mechanical and chemical damage as well as dessication.The Cotyledon (or cotyledons), provides the food supply for the germinating embryo. The cotyledon(s) eventually develop into the primary leaves on germination of the seed.And the Embryo (or zygote), is the the diploid plant waiting to germinate.
The scutellum in a maize seed is responsible for absorbing nutrients from the endosperm, providing nutrients to the growing embryo. It also helps in the mobilization of stored reserves during germination, supporting the initial growth of the seedling.
An example of a seed that has liquid endosperm would be a coconut. While it does contain cellular endosperm, the coconut milk would be considered liquid endosperm.

Seed coat, embryo and endosperm
Seed coat, micropyle, endosperm and embryo are major parts of a seed. The seed coat protects, micropyle allows water to move in, endosperm nourishes the embryo and on germination a new plant emerges from the embryo.
The endosperm is more abundant in the mature seed of a monocot.
endosperm :) (well is its a seed anyways)
monocot seed is a type of seed having a single cotyledon so called monocot.It contains a endosperm which contains food for the germination of seed.It is an albuminus seed(which have a endosperm until it matures). e.g seed of maize or rice etc.
The maize grain is actually a fruit in which the fruit wall and the seed coat are fused together to form a protective layer. Such a fruit is termed as grain or seed .therefore, we call it as maize seed instead of maize fruit
endosperm :) (well is its a seed anyways)
No, triploid endosperm is in angiosperms only. Gymnosperm means "Naked Seed."
An endosperm mother cell is a diploid cell found in the ovule of seed plants that undergoes endosperm formation during fertilization. After fertilization, it undergoes multiple rounds of division to produce the triploid endosperm, which provides nourishment to the developing embryo in the seed. This process is crucial for the proper development of seeds, as the endosperm serves as a food reserve until the seed germinates.
