The ovary is one of the structural units from a gynoecium (female reproductive part of plant). The gynoecium is composed of carpels which consists of 3 parts - a style, stigma and ovary.

The ovary contains a cavity that surrounds the ovules, containing female egg cells. Each ovule is connected to a placenta (lines the inside of the ovary). After fertilization, the ovules develop into seeds, causing the carpels to turn into fruit.

It is a female structure in the plant (associated with the flower) that, when fertilised with male plant pollen, will form a seed from which a new plant can grow.
