The male and female reproductive cells of the plant are called the sperm cells and egg cells, respectively. Typically, in flowering plants, or angiosperms, the sperm nuclei develop within a pollen grain and, upon germination of the pollen grain, the sperm nuclei proceed to travel to the haploid, multi-celled, female gametophyte within the ovary. The female gametophyte harbors the egg cell. One sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg cell to give rise to the embryo, and, typically, a second sperm nucleus fertilizes another cell, referred to as a central cell, to create an endosperm, which produces a nutritive storehouse for the developing embryo.
