Ovum or egg.
In the life cycle of the green alga Ulva, the phase that produces male and female gametes is known as the gametophyte stage. During this stage, male gametes (sperm) and female gametes (eggs) are produced through mitosis, which will eventually fuse to form a zygote.
In plants, female gametes are found within the ovules, which are located inside the ovaries of the flowers. The ovules develop into seeds after fertilization, and the female gametes, known as egg cells, are produced in the embryo sac within the ovule. During pollination, pollen grains carry male gametes to the ovule for fertilization.
The ovaries make and release the female gametes.
A fern gametophyte consists of a small independent plant body that produces both male and female gametes. The male gametes are produced in antheridia, while the female gametes are produced in archegonia. Upon fertilization of the female gametes, a diploid sporophyte is produced.
Female gametes, or egg cells, are released from the ovaries during a process called ovulation. Each month, one egg is released into the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by a sperm cell.

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.
Gametes are specialized sex cells that are involved in sexual reproduction. In humans, gametes include sperm cells produced by males and egg cells produced by females. Gametes carry half the genetic information of a normal cell and fuse during fertilization to form a zygote.
it is called fertilization and the female and male gametes form a zygote. (:

Oocytes
The female gamete is present in the ovary of a flower and the male gametes are present in the anthers.
This is a slightly metaphorical term because gametes are created by organs, not by machines, but since the organs that create gametes do so in a relentless, almost mechanical manner, we might call them gamete machines. Collectively, the organs that create gametes are called gonads. These come in two varieties, the male gonads, known as testes, which produce the male gamete known as sperm, and the female gonads known as ovaries, which produce the female gamete known as eggs or ova.
