After fertilization occurs, each ovule develops into a seed. Each seed contains a tiny, undeveloped plant called an embryo. The ovary surrounding the ovules develops into a fruit that contains one or more seeds.

What does the ovule develop into?

ovule, plant structure that develops into a seed when fertilized. ... A small opening (the micropyle) in the integuments permits the pollen tube to enter and discharge its sperm nuclei into the embryo sac, a large oval cell in which fertilization and development occur.

Does a seed develop from an immature ovule?

The megagametophyte (female, or egg-producing, gametophyte) develops within the ovule (immature seed). The pollen grain must be released and transported to the ovule-bearing structure before fertilization can occur.
