Solution
In angiosperms the endosperm is a triploid tissue.
Explanation:
The endosperm is formed by the fusion of one male gamete nucleus with two polar nuclei from the female gametophyte, resulting in a triploid (3n) primary endosperm nucleus. This triploid tissue develops into endosperm that provides nourishment to the developing embryo in the seed. This process is unique to angiosperms and is part of the double fertilization event.
