Multiple stems from one bean seed


In this year’s batch of pole bean seedlings I have found some that have 2-3 stems.
I think it is very cool - instead of planting 2-3 plants to climb a trellis, I can plant just one such seedling.
I wonder if this can be inherited by the offspring, or rather it was caused by environmental stress factors.

Do you think its a case of a single embryo producing three stems or three different embryos in the same seed?

In my opinion these are three embryos in one seed.
