Funicle is a filamentous stalk attaching a seed or ovule to the placenta.
Hilum is the point at which funiculus touches the ovule. Thus, hilum represents the junction between the ovule and funiculus.
Integuments are the protective covering or layers present in the ovule. It encircles the ovule except at the tip where a small opening called micropyle is organised.
Chalaza is the basal swollen part of the nucellus (opposite the micropylar end) from where the integuments originate. Nucellus is the central part of an ovule, containing the embryo sac.
