I have some school assignment where I have to explain main difference between male and female organisms. I know what the differences are, I am 13 already, but every thing I write doesn’t sound good enough. I was hoping that I can get here some definition or description about female organisms. Thank you.

Ok. I know biology well and I’ll try to help you. Female is the sex of organism, sometimes a part of an organism which produces egg cells and males produces spermatozoon. As you probably know female organisms cannot reproduce sexually without access of male gametes. Some organisms, like plants can reproduce asexually and there are organisms that have both sexes. Other than the defining difference in the type of gamete produced, differences between male and female organisms in one lineage cannot always be predicted by differences in another. This concept is not limited to animals. Egg cells are produced by chytrids, diatoms, water molds, and land plants…for example in land plants, 'female' and 'male' designate not only the egg- and sperm-producing organisms and structures, but also the structures of the sporophytes that give rise to male and female plants.
