Solution
In angiosperms, the embryo sac represents female gametophyte.
Explanation:
In angiosperms, the embryo sac develops from a megaspore and represents the female gametophyte. It is typically 7-celled and 8-nucleate, containing the egg cell, synergids, antipodal cells, and polar nuclei. This structure is where fertilization occurs and the embryo develops; thus, it is the female gametophyte within the ovule.
