    In gymnosperms the female gametophyte forming archegonia provides nourishment to the developing embryo. It later gets transformed into food-laden endosperm inside the seed. Endosperm provides nourishment for growth of seed at the time of seed germination. Triploid endosperm occurs in angiosperms.
