Double fertilization is a complex fertilization mechanism of flowering plants. This process involves the joining of a female gametophyte (megagametophyte, also called the embryo sac) with two male gametes ( It begins when a pollen grain adheres to the stigma of the carpel, the female reproductive structure of a flower.

Hope this helps!
