All sex cells are gametes. Gamete is a synonym of sex cell. Male sex cells/gametes are spermatozoa (singular: spermatozoon). Female sex cells/gametes are ova (singular: ovum). So the answer is yes, an ovum is the female sex cell/female gamete.

The union of male and female gametes, or sex cells, is known as fertilization.

This process combines genetic material from both parents to create genetic diversity in offspring.
