Why do you think the zygote is dormant for some time in a fertilized ovule?
(N/A) The zygote is formed by the fusion of the male gamete with the nucleus of the egg cell. The zygote remains dormant for some time and waits for the endosperm to form,which develops from the primary endosperm cell resulting from triple fusion. The endosperm provides food for the growing embryo and after the formation of the endosperm,further development of the embryo from the zygote starts.
