'''Embryonic development''', also known as '''embryogenesis''', is the process by which an [[embryo]] develops. It takes place in [[plants]] and [[animals]] that reproduce [[sexual reproduction|sexually]]. In both plants and animals, sexual reproduction involves the fusion of an [[egg cell]] (ovum) and a [[sperm cell]] (called a [[spermatozoon]] in animals) to form a cell called a [[zygote]]. It is this zygote which then develops into the embryo. There are major differences between [[plant embryonic development]] and [[animal embryonic development]], and even within each [[kingdom (biology)|kingdom]], the process varies significantly between species.
