What do female parts in the flower produce?

Is it ovary or ovules?

What do female parts in the flower produce?
Fruit/Seed.





The female part of a flower is called the carpel (or the pistill). It contains the stigma, style, ovary and ovule (which is inside the ovary). Basically when pollen created from the anthers lands on the sticky layer on the stigma is travels down the style and germinates the ovum to from a seed. At this point the ovary and surrounding tissue form the fruit.
Reply:Female parts in the flower produce seeds. An ovary carries an ovule. In an ovule is an egg. When the sperm from pollen unites with the egg, fertilization occurs and forms a seed in flowering plants. Depending on the type of plant, this seed may or may not become a fruit. A fruit surrounds and protects the seed.
