The ovule is attached to the placenta by the funicle.
The junction of the ovule and the funicle is called hilum.
Each ovule has one or two protective layers, called integuments, which cover the rest of the ovule, except for a small opening called micropyle.
The chalaza lying on the opposite side of the micropyle end represents the basal part of the ovule.
Nucellus is present within the integuments and contains reserved food.
The embryo sac or female gametophyte is located within the nucellus.
