Plant Ovary
The ovary is a female reproductive organ found in most flowering plants. It is a hollow, cylindrical organ that contains the egg cells, or ovules, which will develop into seeds upon fertilization. The ovary is an essential organ for the production and development of seeds, as it is responsible for the production of female gametes (eggs) and, together with the male gametes (pollen) and the receptive stigma, is necessary for the process of fertilization, leading to the production of a genetically diverse new plant. The fertilized ovules, or ‘seeds’, will be dispersed in the environment, thus allowing the species to spread and reproduce.
