The term is not very specific, but in some areas ( projective geometry , technical drawing , etc.) it is given a more precise definition, which may include either one or two axes of symmetry of an ellipse .

Location of ovules inside a Helleborus foetidus flower. In seed plants, the ovule is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells. It consists of three parts: the integument, forming its outer layer, the nucellus (or remnant of the megasporangium), and the female gametophyte (formed from a haploid megaspore) in its center.
