Q.164) In cereal seeds (like maize), the endosperm is a large food storage tissue. The aleurone layer is a single layer of cells rich in protein that lies on the outer side of the endosperm. It separates the embryo from the starchy endosperm and plays an important role during seed germination by releasing enzymes for starch breakdown.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (1).
