Perisperm differs from endosperms in 

  • being a haploid  tissue

In some seeds like black pepper and beet remnants of nucellus are also persistent this persistent nucellus is called perisperm.The cells of endosperm tissue are filled with reserve food materials and are used for the nutrition of the developing embryo.
