What does OVULE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
The small structure inside a plant's ovary that contains the female egg cell and develops into a seed after fertilization.
Botanists study the ovule as the starting point of a seed, since it holds the egg cell that, once fertilized by pollen, grows a protective coat and stores food for the new plant embryo. Each ovule sits attached inside the ovary by a short stalk, and a flower may carry anywhere from one ovule to many hundreds, depending on the species. The number and arrangement of ovules inside a fruit often explains how many seeds that fruit eventually contains, from a single stone in a peach to countless seeds in a poppy pod. After fertilization the outer wall of the ovule hardens into the seed coat that protects the embryo until it germinates.
