Understand 'ovule' as part of how flowers reproduce, turning into a seed after pollination.

Flower Reproduction

'Ovule' is the stage before a seed is formed, not the seed itself.

Pre-Seed Stage

Use 'ovule' only when speaking about the specific part of a flower, not for the whole flower or fruit.

The medical 'ovule' is a small, egg-shaped capsule, often for treating infections.

In medicine, 'ovule' can be used even if it's not medication inside, like a diagnostic substance.

Use the medical term 'ovule' when discussing treatment, not general health advice.
