Secondary growth; the cambium ring is persistent and produces a continuous cylinder of secondary xylem; annual rings are formed. Privacy Policy3. The microspore (Fig. The ovule is the source of the megagametophyte and the progenitor of the seed. Each male cone is a shortly stalked compact, oval or conical woody structure. In this case, male cones create pollen (male gametophyte) and female cone create eggs. 92. Female gametophyte is retained whereas male gametophyte is transfer during pollination. The sporophyte is partly or wholly dependent on the gametophyte for nutritional purpose. A mature archegonium consists of two neck cells and an egg.
