Answer:
Ovary
The ovary is an enlarged basal portion of the pistil, the female organ of a flower. The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilisation. It will mature into a fruit, either dry and parchment-like or fleshy and it encloses the seeds.
A simple or unicarpellate ovary is formed from a single carpel, an evolutionarily modified leaf. It has one chamber (locule), within which are the ovules.
A multicarpellate ovary consists of more than one carpel and may have one or more locules.
Ovary position is a useful feature in classification. An ovary attached to the receptacle above the attachment of other floral parts is termed superior; when it lies below the attachment of other floral parts, it is inferior.
