An inferior ovary of a flower is situated below the floral parts. In a flower, the ovary is the structure that contains the ovules and later develops into a fruit. If the ovary is inferior, it means that it is located beneath the attachment point of the other floral parts such as the petals, sepals, and stamens. The inferior ovary is often surrounded by a floral tube formed by the fusion of the sepals, petals, and stamens. This is in contrast to a superior ovary, which is located above the attachment point of the other floral parts.
