Solution
The perisperm is the remaining nucellus.
Explanation:
The perisperm is the remaining persistent nucellus of the ovule, found in the seeds of some plants like black pepper. It is different from the endosperm, which is formed after fertilization and serves as nutritive tissue for the embryo. Thus, perisperm represents leftover nucellus tissue, not endosperm, female gametophyte, or integument.
