Answer 1

In male reproductive whorl of a flower the archesporial cells are formed by hypodermal cell of anther.

Explanation:

In the young anther, specialized hypodermal cells just beneath the epidermis differentiate into archesporial cells; these divide periclinally to give rise to the primary sporogenous (microspore‑forming) cells and the primary parietal cells that form the anther wall (tapetum, endothecium, middle layer).
