An immature ovum encased in a sac is called a follicle.

Cackleberries; ovum.
No, an immature female ovary cannot be fertilized. Fertilization requires a mature ovum (egg), which is typically released during ovulation. Immature follicles do not contain viable eggs capable of being fertilized. Only mature eggs, once they have completed their development, can be fertilized by sperm.
Eggs are also known as ovum in a biological context or as ova when referring to multiple eggs. In culinary terms, eggs may be referred to as "hen fruit" or "bird's eggs."

A: Women's eggs are referred to as ova (plural). ONE egg is referred to as an ovum, and the sack that holds all of the eggs are called ovaries.
Ovum are considered undifferentiated because they are immature reproductive cells that have not yet undergone the processes required for specialization into a functional gamete. In their primary state, ovum contain the necessary genetic material and cellular components but lack the specific adaptations seen in fully developed eggs. This undifferentiated state allows for potential differentiation during maturation, where they can develop into a functional egg capable of fertilization. Additionally, this characteristic is essential for the processes of embryonic development following fertilization.
