Solution
The endosperm in angiosperms is developed from secondary nucleus.
Explanation:
The endosperm develops from the secondary nucleus formed by the fusion of two polar nuclei, which then fuses with one male gamete during double fertilization to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus that nourishes the embryo. This process is unique to angiosperms and ensures the development of nutritive tissue for the embryo.
