WHAT DOES OVULE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ovule

Ovule

Ovule means "small egg". In seed plants, the ovule is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells. It consists of three parts: The integument forming its outer layer, the nucellus, and female gametophyte in its center. The female gametophyte—specifically termed a "megagametophyte"—is also called the embryo sac in angiosperms. The megagametophyte produces an egg cell for the purpose of fertilization. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed.

Definition of ovule in the English dictionary

The definition of ovule in the dictionary is a small body in seed-bearing plants that consists of the integument, nucellus, and embryosac and develops into the seed after fertilization. Other definition of ovule is an immature ovum.
