False.

Rhizomes are specialized food-storage stems. They are not inside seeds.

A true statement would be, "In a seed, cotyledons store food for a developing plant embryo." or "In a seed, endosperm tissue stores food for a developing embryo."

False. Rhizomes are modified stems in mature plants; cotyledons store food for a developing plant embryo.
