Why do you think the zygote is dormant for sometime in a fertilized ovule?

The fusion of male gamete and nucleus of the egg cell leads to formation of zygote.


The zygote remains dormant for some time until certain amount of endosperm forms.


It happens because endosperm provides nutrition to the developing embryo.


After the formation of the endosperm, the further development of embryo from zygote happens.
