Do they allow bee & pollen discussions on this site?
The stigma receives the pollen either from the wind, an animal or directly from an anther. The pollen attaches and grows a tube down to the ovary. That is where fertilization occurs. The seed grows from the pollen and egg inside the ovary. Sometimes the ovary is fleshy and becomes part of a fruit. Tomatoes are actually berries.
Sadly it takes a lot of words specific to plant structures we lack to explain it completely but in some ways it is still just two haploid cells meeting in the dark to form a zygote. Two fragments from the parents meeting & making one whole offspring. The little beginning of a plant. One cell that divides in a synchronized cascade of division and differentiation to form a seed or fruit that pauses just a moment of time with its parent before launching out as the next generation. The flower is just another mom doing what moms do all the time except they grow little ovules into seeds with coats. As the seed grows the coat grows too, responding to signals from the seed. This coat around the seed is the fruit and peel intended to supply nutrients once the seed leaves and to protect it until it does.
