Apogametic refers to a form of asexual reproduction in plants where an egg cell develops into an embryo without fertilization. Some synonyms for the term include agamic, parthenogenic, and apomictic. Agamic is another term used to describe asexual reproduction in organisms, while parthenogenic refers specifically to the development of viable offspring from unfertilized eggs. Apomictic refers to the formation of seeds without fertilization, and is commonly observed in grasses and other flowering plants. These terms are often used interchangeably, depending on the context in which the phenomenon of apogamy is being discussed.
