nucellus
An Ovule (megasporangium) generally has a single embryo sac formed from a megaspore through reduction division. It is small structure attached to the placenta by means of a stalk called funicle.
Ovule →Megaspore Mother Cell (MMC) by meiosis →Megaspore
Each has one or two protective envelopes called integuments. Nucellus is a mass of cells enclosed with the integuments. Fruits develop from the ovary of a flower, other floral parts degenerate and fall off.
