An ovule is a female megasporangium where the formation of megaspores takes place.

The various parts of an ovule are –

  •  Funiculus – It is a stalk-like structure which represents the point of attachment of the ovule to the placenta of the ovary
  •  Hilum – It is the point where the body of the ovule is attached to the funiculus
  •  Integuments –They are the outer layers surrounding the ovule that provide protection to the developing embryo.
  •  Micropyle – It is a narrow pore formed by the projection of integuments. It marks the point where the pollen tube enters the ovule at the time of fertilization.
  •  Nucellus – It is a mass of the parenchymatous tissue surrounded by the integuments from the outside. The nucellus provides nutrition to the developing embryo. The embryo sac is located inside the nucellus.
  • Chalazal – It is the based swollen part of the nucellus from where the integuments originate.
