Plant structure which becomes a seed when fertilised (5)

I believe the answer is:

ovule

(Other definitions for ovule that I've seen before include "Part of flower" , "Egg-cell in a plant" , "Small body containing the female germ cell of a plant" , "Egg cell" , "Immature ovum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
