seed coat
.
The
aleurone
cotyledons
hilum
non-endospermous
seed coat
is a scar on the seed coat through which the emerging seeds were attached to the fruit.
The
aleurone
cotyledons
hilum
non-endospermous
seed coat
are often fleshy and full of reserve food materials.
In plants, the endosperm is not present in mature seeds and such seeds are termed
aleurone
cotyledons
hilum
non-endospermous
seed coat

The endosperm is large and stores food and its outer covering separates it from the embryo by a proteinous layer called
aleurone
cotyledons
hilum
non-endospermous
seed coat
