This is a picture of a coconut. The coconut represents a fruit with an endosperm. An endosperm is a tissue that is produced from the inside of the seed, which provides nutrition (starch, oils, and proteins). The endosperm is found inside of the coconut (the white solid and the liquid). This is why the inside of the coconut is a tasty, as well as a healthy source of food. Corn and grain are other examples of plants that have an endosperm.
