Solution
Egg Apparatus:
An egg apparatus consists of three cells towards the micropylar end of the embryo sac namely, the egg cell and two synergids.
The synergids aid in the fertilization process by dissolving the tip of the pollen tubes to release the male gametes in the ovary.
The walls of the synergids are thickened near the micropyle with finger-like projections called the filiform apparatus.
The pollen tube enters the micropylar end towards the synergids with the help of the filiform apparatus.
