Endosperm
This is corn. Corn is an example of an endosperm. Endosperm is a nutritive tissue surrounding the embryo within seeds of flowering plants. The silk in ears of corn allows the embryo to grow without being damaged while providing the necessary nutrients from water and the sun. Endosperm can be found in peas, beans, and wheat. Sometimes the endosperm can be totally absorbed by the time the plant is mature. The endosperm provides the embryo with nutrients from starch, oils, and proteins.
