Step-by-step solution
In angiosperms, post-fertilization changes lead to the formation of seeds and fruits. Non-albuminous seeds completely consume the endosperm during embryo development. Groundnut is an example of a non-albuminous seed. Albuminous seeds retain a part of the endosperm as it is not completely used up. Castor is an example of an albuminous seed. Perispermic seeds retain the residual, persistent nucellus. Beet and black pepper are examples of perispermic seeds. False fruits are those in which the thalamus also contributes
