Endosperm is produced by double fertilization.

Explanation:

Double fertilization is a process of fertilization in which one sperm cell combine with egg cell produces embryo while other sperm cell joins with polar nuclei forming endosperm. Embryo is baby plant and endosperm is the part of fruit and grains we eat. For example, in mango fruit, seed is the embryo while the part we eat is the endosperm.
