Why can we say that the embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants?

Because it is where the embryo of a seed plant develops.
I hope my answer can help you. =)

What is female gametophyte?
Embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants. Situated in the flower. It is dependent on the sporophyte (what we call plant) for nutrition. here the gametophyte is reduced and sporophyte is dominant.In lower plants the female gametophyte is prominent and independent where it can photosynthesize. Usually it is called as a thallus. Here the sporophyte is reduced and the gametophyte is dominant.
What is meant by monosporic development of female gametophyte?
The female gametophyte or the embryo sac develops from a single functional megaspore. This is known as monosporic development of the female gametophyte. In most flowering plants, a single megaspore mother cell present at the micropylar pole of the nucellus region of the ovule undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores. Later, out of these four megaspores, only one functional megaspore develops into the female gametophyte, while the remaining three degenerate
The female gametophyte of seed plants that produces eggs?
The female gametes of a plant are contained in the form of egg apparatus in the embryo sacs.
Are all seed plants heterosporous?
heterosporous means that male and female organs are different. One structure produces eggs and other produces sperm. If a plant has seeds, which contains the embryo, then that clearly means sexual fertilization and a male/female gametophyte had to be involved. In short, yes. All seed plants are hetrosporous by that logic.
Which structure primarily function in plant reproduction?
Flowering plants (Angiosperms) - The flower Flowering plants (Gymnosperms) - Male and female cones Non-flowering plants (Ferns) - Sporangia Non-flowering plants (Mosses) - archegonia (female) and antheridia (male)
What flowering plants becomes the female gametophyte?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
In flowering plant which of these becomes the female gametophyte?
In flowering plants, the megaspore becomes the female gametophyte. It is the larger meiospore produced in heterosporous plants, and is the embryonic sac of a flower.
How are the life cycle of all flowering plants the same?
It has got a dependent gametophyte on main sporophytic plant body and embryo develops inside the embryo sac in all flowering angiospermic plants.

The male gametophyte in flowering plants will be found within the?
it is pollen
Where are embryo located in flowering plants?
Embryos are located in the embryo sac of the ovary.
What is the process of fertilization in flowering plants by which new seeds are formed?
In Angiosperms the pollen tube pierces the wall of the embryo sac and releases two male gametes. One of these male gametes fuses with the egg to form the zygote and the other to the secondary nucleus to form the endosperm. the developing embryo is nourished by the endosperm. A fully developed embryo remains in the ovule and the latter is converted in to the seed. In gymnosperms the female gametophyte nourishes the develoing embryo instead of endosperm and the embryo develops from the zygote inside the archegonium instead of embryo sac.
What is one difference in how flowering plants and Cone bearing plants reproduce?
Cone bearing plants have their egg cell in the archegonium whereas flowering plants (Angiosperms) have egg cell in the embryo sac.
In flowering plants the structures that contain the embryo and food are called 'ovules' or 'seeds'?
Seeds
