Cotyledons and testa respectively are edible parts inGroundnut: the seed is non-endospermic and the food is stored in the two fleshy cotyledons, which are the edible part.
Pomegranate: the edible part is the juicy outer seed coat (testa) of each seed.
Litchi: the edible part is the fleshy aril, not the testa.
Tamarind: the edible part is the mesocarp; coconut: the edible part is the endosperm.
Hence cotyledons and testa are the edible parts of groundnut and pomegranate respectively.
