oosphere
oosphere (ovum; egg cell) The nonmotile female gamete in plants and some algae. In angiosperms (flowering plants) it is a cell in the
embryo sac of the ovule. In other plants it is situated in an
archegonium. In algae, such as
Fucus, the oosphere is protected by an
oogonium until it is shed into the water prior to fertilization. Many oospheres store food in the form of starch or oil droplets.
