Answer:

 The process of fertilization in plants takes place when the male gamete from the pollen grain combines with the female gamete from the ovule to form a zygote, which further develops into an embryo. Pollen grains containing the male gametes are transferred from the anther of the flower to the stigma of the same or another flower through a process called pollination. The pollen grain then releases the male gametes, which travel through a tube-like structure called the pollen tube, down to the ovary. Once the sperm cells reach the ovule, they fertilize the egg cell in it to form a zygote. The zygote goes through a few divisions to form the embryo.
