What is fertililization desccribe the process of fertilization in plants?

The union of male gamete with female gamete during sexual reproduction is known as fertilization. In lower plants, the male gamete travels through its flagella in liquid medium to reach up to the egg of the female gamete to unite but in higher plants, male gametes are contributed by the pollen grains and female gamete develops in the ovary or embryosac. After pollination, the pollen grain germinates and sends a pollen tube towards the female gamete. Reaching the egg the male gametes travelling in the pollen tube are discharged and one of the male gamete fuses with the egg to form the zygote for embryo development and the other gamete of the same pollen grain fuses with the secondary nucleus (in case of Angiospermic plants) to form the primary endosperm nucleus. This double fusion of male gametes in angiospermic plants is known as double fertilization.
