The correct answer is
ovule
Plant Part Converted to Seed: The Ovule
In flowering plants, the process of reproduction involves several key parts of the flower. After pollination and fertilization, specific structures undergo transformation.
Ovule to Seed Development
- The ovule contains the female gamete (egg cell).
- Upon fertilization by the male gamete from the pollen, the ovule develops into the seed.
- The seed contains the plant embryo and stored food, enclosed in a protective coat.
Other Flower Parts
Understanding the roles of other parts helps clarify why the ovule is the correct answer:
- Stigma: The receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower. Pollen adheres to it. It does not develop into a seed.
- Ovary: The part of the female reproductive organ (pistil) that contains ovules. After fertilization, the ovary typically develops into the fruit, enclosing the seed(s).
- Style: A stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary. It does not develop into a seed.
Therefore, the ovule is the structure that matures into the seed.
