Answer

Endosperm develops from the primary endosperm cell. It is triploid (3n) in nature.
The endosperm develops from primary endosperm nucleus (PEN). The PEN undergoes successive nuclear divisions to give rise to free nuclei. This stage is called free nuclear endosperm. Subsequently, cell wall is formed on the periphery and endosperm becomes cellular.
