fertilizes egg to form zygote Angiosperms enclosed seed Ovules surrounded by sporophytic tissues which create a barrier to outside world Other sperm joins with two nuclei in the megagametophyte to form triploid 3n tissue called endosperm Sperm reach eggs via pollen tubes growing through parental sporophyte tissue The triploid endosperm becomes the source of nutrients for the developing embryo
