Seeds that possess a special food storage tissue called the
endosperm are said to be albuminous and those which have no
such tissue for storage are said to be exalbuminous or
non-endospermic.

In albuminous seeds food is being stored in
endosperm the cotyledons are small and thin while on
exalbuminous seeds cotylesdon store up food and become thick
and Fleshy. When germination of seed takes place then food
is used by embryo whether it is stored in endosperm or in
cotypedon
