WHAT DOES PERISPERM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

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 perisperm in the English dictionary

The definition of perisperm in the dictionary is the nutritive tissue surrounding the embryo in certain seeds, and developing from the nucellus of the ovule.
