Yes, the seed coat of a bean seed is thick in nature. The seed coat acts as a protective layer surrounding the seed, providing physical protection and regulating water absorption and gas exchange during germination.
The outer layer of a bean seed that acts as a protective coating is called the seed coat or testa. It helps protect the seed from physical damage, pathogens, and desiccation.
When beans are soaked in water, the seed coat absorbs the water and swells up. This causes the seed coat to soften and eventually split open, allowing the bean to germinate and sprout.
Integuments, after fertilization turn to the seed coat, which protects the seed

The difference is that the bean seed germinates by dicots and the corn seed germinates by monocots.
Once the bean plant starts to develop its first pair of leaves, the seed coat will be shed.

To protect the seed.
The cotyledons provides a source of food to the seed and seedling that is germinating, while the seed coat protects it.

Integuments, after fertilization turn to the seed coat, which protects the seed
Germination of the seed causes changes within the seed coat which allows for massive absorption of water via imbibition.
Yes bean seeds are provided with very hard and impervious seed coat. Water enters in it through micropyle only. If the seed coat is removed (skinned), the hydrophilic proteins inside will absorb water at a faster rate.
