  • Plant Ovary: The Female Reproductive Organ & Egg Cell Production
    The female reproductive organ of a plant that produces egg cells is called the ovary.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Ovary: This is the swollen base of the pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower. Inside the ovary are one or more ovules, which contain the egg cells (also called gametes).

    * Ovule: Each ovule contains a single egg cell, which is the female gamete.

    * Egg cell: This is the haploid cell that, when fertilized by a sperm cell, will develop into a seed.
