Solution and Explanation
Embryo nourishment: The embryo receives nourishment inside the mother's body through the placenta. The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and connects the embryo/fetus to the uterine wall. It allows for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the mother’s blood and the embryo/fetus’s blood.
