The ovule is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells.
Structure of an anatropous ovule is as follows:
- Chalaza: It is the basal swollen part of the nucellus from where the integuments originates
- Nucellus: The embryo sac is located inside the nucellus. It provides nutrition to the developing embryo. Its parenchymatous tissue surrounded by the integuments from the outside.
- Integuments: These are the outer layers which surrounds the ovule. It provide protection to the developing embryo.
- Micropyle: It is the point where the pollen tube enters the ovule at the time of fertilization.
- Hilum: It is the point where the body of the ovule is attached to the funiculus.
- Funiculus: It is a stalk-like structure which represents the point of attachment of the ovule to the placenta of the ovary.
