The ovaries are the female gonads, or sex cell-producing organs, which produce eggs, or ova. (In men, the testicles are the gonads and they produce sperm .) Generally, the female body will have two ovaries, though the female body can survive with one or no ovaries.
A flowering plant or flower is known as an angiosperm. Flowers contain multiple ovules that are enclosed within the ovary. Ovaries are a part of the carpel, which is connected to a stalk or funiculus.Over time, the ovule matures, resulting in the growth of food storage for future seeds, stored within seed coats.
