Verified by ExpertsC
(c) Maize is an albuminous or endospermic seed. In maize, embryo does not consume all endosperm. So, it persists in the mature seed. In these seeds food is stored in endosperm. In exalbuminous or non-endospermic seeds (like gram, pea, etc.) the endosperm is completely consumed by the embryo.
