The following diagram shows an endospermic seed of Maize grain. Answer the following question:

The part which provides nourishment to the developing embryo is:

Y

The correct answer is Option (2) – Y

The endosperm is indeed a nutritive tissue in seeds that provides nourishment to the developing embryo in angiosperms (flowering plants). It is formed during double fertilization, where one sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell to form the embryo, while the other sperm cell fertilizes the central cell to form the triploid endosperm. The endosperm typically contains starch, proteins, and other nutrients that serve as a food reserve for the growing embryo.
